My 3-year-old wants REAL money!

[rat-man]

Placed a $10 federal reserve note, my AMEX card, and Gold and Silver coin on the table and asked my 3-year-old daughter (her name is Liberty) which one she wanted.

Did you tell her to pick that or is she just a smart cookie?

No coaching or instruction whatsoever.

Keep in mind:

1) She's only 3
2) She's female
3) The Silver Eagle was the biggest, shiniest thing she was presented.

But yes, I like to think she REALLY knows the difference, even though the gold she passed up for the silver has more than a 10x greater value.

Yes, but it does have intrinsic value as opposed to the other two options. She is on the right path. There is always time for refinement of a correct general idea.

I would just punch you in the face and take all four.But that's just me.

Also one interesing fact, in French the word "argent" means both "money" and "silver".

Of course she picked that one, it is big and shiny. Girls like shiny things. Now be a good boy and give the gold one to the Mrs. for putting up with you.

What do you have planned for your daughter's first boyfriend who says, "Give me Liberty or give me death."

I always found it more interesting that "avocat" can be either "lawyer" or "avocado".

Of course I could be mistaken. It's been a long time since I've had to carry on a conversation en francais. A long long time...

I'm sure you would know better than me on this one

You are correct Sir.

You are correct Sir.

You may hear some of RedneckReject's more base French after calling her 'sir'!

If he can tell me who said it, when, why, and the historical significance, I may consider giving him his first beer as his last meal.

I was just gonna let it slide, but since you brought it up...

It will be forgiven...just this once.
