Saving Up

Amelia has been saving all the money she found, earned, or stole since birth.  Now, she has no issue with spending all my money, but she's done well with hers. Today, we decided to take advantage of the bad weather and spend some time rolling it up for the bank. Yes, I know there are machines that do this for you. However, those machines don't give your daughter practice at counting to 50 and understanding the difference between a nickel and a quarter. I knew she had lots of change and even some "paper dollars" stored in her closet. I just didn't know how much. Her final tally was $252! 

She says she is going to keep saving up so she doesn't have to work hard when she is a grown up. This, of course, means she already has a more responsible understanding of money than most actual grown ups.
