The rationality of my 9 year old brother. It made tear in joy.
For his birthday, I took him to Toys' R'Us and told him he could buy legos, games, and toys but with a limit of $100. I took him to the Legos isle expecting him to get the big box of Knights and Castle, which was priced at $80. I was wrong.
Andre took a small box of Knights that cost $7.99. I asked him if he was sure. He said, 'Yes Kuya."
Then he pulled me down to whisper in my ears, "Kuya, is it okay if you just buy me this little box and give me the $92 in cash?"
To my amazement, I agreed. As we walked out of the store, I noticed that he had a big smile on his face, as we walked hand to hand to my car. I bought him a wallet, and put in his wallet the $92.
That afternoon, I was outside mowing the lawn, and trimming the side. Then to my surprise, my little brother was outside helping me. He helped me unload the grass from the lawn mower bin.
I found out later that my father paid my brother $20 for helping me mow the lawn. My baby brother was collecting and saving. This was in July.
By September, he had in his wallet a little around $300 worth of cash. And I asked him, 'Andre what are you going to do with that money? Buy a PS3? games? toys?'
He smiled to me and said, "No kuya. I'm going to put it in my bank. '
Hahahaha!
I smiled then. And I still smile now.
