Out of the Mouths of Babes

I have identified, with great certainty, one child who should never grow up to be a waitress, or a chef, or anything else in the food service industry. A particular four-year-old was playing a computer game in which she had to assemble pizzas to the specifications on the order. And of course, you have to put them together quickly, and it was frustrating to this particular player, who didn't have the dexterity to do it fast enough. After she lost yet again, I reminded her, "Well, you have to put cheese on the pizzas!" She told me, "But the people won't think it tastes good!" And therefore, she should never work in a restaurant.

At the pool one day, I "got my hair done" by a six-year-old "hairdresser" on my "wedding day." Her idea. Luckily for me, this particular "hair salon" also sold wedding gowns and jewelry! And nothing would cost more than five dollars. My "hairdresser" suggested one with butterflies and roses on it, which would cost three dollars. The matching veil and earrings cost one cent, and a matching necklace is free. I told her that I thought one cent was a good price, but I only had a quarter. Could I get change? "Yes!" She said. "Here's $20 change." Good thing she only deals in imaginary money, because she'd soon be broke using these math skills.
