Pet's class has had a unit on economics. He comes home talking about consumers and producers. It's cute. Anyways, I was trying to read some fairy tale to Petros. He wasn't into it. I don't blame him. It wasn't the best story. "The Flying Trunk" by Hans Christian Andersen. Petros was worried about how the flippant son of the merchant could get away with throwing gold coins into the ocean and making paper airplanes out of dollar bills. I kept reading to the part where the man puts on a firework show for the Turks, as he is flying high in his trunk. At some point I asked Petros a question to see if he was paying attention (which he wasn't) and he responded after a minute...
"Sorry mom, I guess I was just distracted by income and economics."
