When the Simple Solution Just Won't Do


Theo has very much wanted to get a set of hand weights, as he needs to "work out and get big guns, Mom." (Guns meaning muscles, not firearms!) So I finally told him if he really wanted them, he could use money from his piggy bank to buy them. And today was the day—I sent him upstairs to get $8 out of his piggy bank while I finished the dishes. A few minutes later, he came back downstairs, looking very serious.
"Mom, I made a bigger hole in my piggy bank. I think we need to fix this. The coins were stuck in there, so I decided to use my sword to get them back."
Because asking Mom for help would've been too simple and logical—this was clearly a job for a sword!
