I overheard this conversation between Eitan and his friend Z during a recent playdate.
Eitan: I have money.
Z: How?
Eitan: I have an allowance.
Z: What’s an allowance?
Eitan: It’s when you get money and you don’t have a job.
Z: Wait, but how did you get to do this?
Eitan: I asked my parents. You can ask your parents.
Z: My parents don’t let me have money.
Eitan: How about I give you 2 dollars?
I still can’t decide if I’m proud or embarrassed!
