When John David got off the bus yesterday, I noticed he had a sticker on his shirt. It said "I want my yearbook." I waited to see if he said anything. He eventually told me that the sticker was to remind him to buy a yearbook. He then gave me the yearbook sales pitch. He was sure to mention that it would have his picture and all his friends. But then he told me that it really had pictures of everyone in the entire school. He ended by asking for $25 dollars. I told him that was a lot of money, and we already had pictures of his classmates. His final statement was that he lots of dollars in his wallet and I could use those if I didn't have enough. I told him we probably were not going to get a yearbook this year, but maybe when he got older, and that was pretty much the end of the conversation. He didn't bring it up after that.
It is amazing what kids listen to and can remember to recite. I felt like I was at the door with a salesman...he definitely knew his stuff.
