In Debt

Dear Connor,

In your classroom, you and your classmates have the opportunity to earn "Funny Money." Whenever you follow rules or do something nice, you earn Funny Money that you can spend on a toy or book in the class's Funny Money store. Whenever you don't follow rules, your teachers take some of your money away. Today, Daddy asked you--you who does not like to follow rules and instead do what you like to do--how much Funny Money you have. You sighed and said, "It's kind of hard to explain. I owe Funny Money." Oh my god.

Love,
Mom
