Yesterday I went to a great store. It was run by Mairead, 3. She told me to come over to the cash register and sit down. I told her I wanted to buy two books, and we began the transaction:
Mairead: How much charge do you want?
Me: Five dollars.
Mairead: Okay. Um...how about zero dollars? Zero money is zero dollars.
(opens cash register and gives me a fake dime) Here's a dollar.
Wow, what a store! Two books for zero dollars, plus a dime that's worth a dollar. I think the store will be open again next week. I'm gonna buy more.
