Teaching Them To Pay
10 CommentsIt is time to teach Timothy how to pay for things and get the correct change back. Next year he will be in primary school. Wow this is too fast for me. Anyway, the other day my family was eating in an old kopitiam. There were some sweets on the counter, 20 sens for three. My hubby gave Timothy 20 sens and Emily also wanted 20 sens.
They set out on a mission to get 3 sweets. Timothy gave the aunt 20 sens and pointed at the sweets that he wanted. Aunty gave him the sweets and he was happy. The thing with Timothy is after he gets what he wanted he walked away. He never looked back to check whether he got the change back, if any. He did that many times.
Emily is surprisingly very smart, not sure whether good or bad. She pointed to aunty her selection. Aunty gave her the sweets, she smiled and walked away. Guess what??!! She still has the 20 sens in her hands.
Okay, more training to do….

My boys is of the other exteme. They always wanted more than enough to get ‘change’. And when the amount is exact, they will wait for a while still hoping for change!!!!!!

Emily sure is smart and tried to keep the 20 sen for her next round. So, did the Aunty collect the 20 sen from her?
I still have not taught Des how to pay, and she still doesn’t how to differentiate the ringgit and the sen. She only knows the 1 sen and has lots of them (which I allow her to play with).
