I just had this random memory
When I was younger and was at my first elementary school, every year we would go to the farmers market for a field trip. My mom would give me whatever change she was able to throw away.
Actually, cut into the story, we were around 5-6 years old and our teachers let us walk around alone and talk to strangers. Apparently it was supposed to help boost our social skills and help us learn how to save money?? Idk. Anyway!
I would always try to memorize what we needed for the house. Then I would go around and buy it. Whatever money I had left went towards my bunny at the time, Bunny FuFu. I would always have no money for, according to my friends, the best ice cream ever.
I would always be really upset, but when I got home, I would always feel better because I was a big girl and helped my mom shop! And I helped her save money so it could go to bills. And I made my bunny happy by getting him freshly grown carrots
