Alexis will be the Smith daughter to go to when you need money, She likes to collect money, and she is a saver. Jill made a deal with the girls that any change that is left in my pocket becomes theirs if it goes through the washer and dryer (the money is truly laundered). I have caught her trying to take this to the next level, acquiring coins on my dresser and in my car. I also suspect that the little sneak has been taking the illicit change she has found and putting them in the pockets of my pants that are to-be-washed. I just cannot believe that I left $7.94 in pennies, nickels, dimes, a Sacajawea dollar, state quarters from Wyoming, Florida, Nebraska, and Guam, and three Kennedy half-dollars in my Dockers.
Jill gave her a dime to throw in a wishing pond at a restaurant a few weeks back. I watched as she walked over and waved her hand over the pond (with her fist firmly closed).
"Alexis, did you throw the coin in?"
"Um-hmm."
"Why is your hand closed?"
"I don't know."
"Can I see what's in your hand?"
"No."
"Did you make a wish?"
"Yes."
"What did you wish for?"
"A dime."

Gosh, times really are a changin'. Used to be you could throw a penny in for your best wish, but now those wishing wells are charging a dime?! I can't believe the cost of a wish is 10x higher than when I was a kid.
That Alexis is so darn cute. As her daddy, I think it is your duty to teach her the value of a dime (nothing) and let her know that her wishes are worth so much more :)
