So I've decided to give the girls an allowance. I know....crazy, right? But I would love to get some sort of organization to their crazy messes and not be the only one responsible for taking care of it.....sooooo.....it dawned on me the other day that they are sort of into their piggy banks. This dawned on me when I threatened to take all of their coins because they destroyed one of my houseplants in order to feed their animals (namely, Floppy!). They were screaming and crying that I was going to take all of their money and they couldn't buy anything. Now, they haven't bought anything yet and we haven't even talked about a possible trip or way to spend that money, but they certainly have an attachment to it. So it dawned on me to go with this one. If they make their bed everyday (and I'll accept their version of a made bed....no hospital corners required), they can have a coin. They tend to choose the dimes or pennies and Delilah doesn't always take me up on the offer...so I figure if I'm out 15-20 cents at the end of the week, that it's a pretty good deal!
Oh yeah, my title....Things They Say....
me: Delilah, what are you going to buy with your money?
Delilah: ummmmm...diapers and peanut butter sandwiches.
Seriously, the girl LOVES her peanut butter!

So the big question is....who needs the diapers for Delilah?
The other is....what did Addison want to use the money to purchase?
I don't think we got to Addison's decision because the PB got a good laugh.
The girls do diapers at night...but why she wants to purchase them, I don't know!
Peanut butter, hu? She sounds like she's related to her uncle Michael!
