9 Questions About Money from My Three Year Old Girl That I Can’t Answer

I don’t know if every girl is chatterbox. I still remember that my father used to call me that. But I am sure my three year old litler girl can’t stop talking for one minute. Half the time she is complaining or back-stabbing her brothers, the other half the time she will asked millions of these wierd questions that I had never thought of.

Who Invented The Money?
I guess I can look it up in the wikipedia and educated myself first. But the problem is how I am going to explain it to a 3-year old?

Why Do I Need to Pay for it?
I am glad she didn’t ask me this question very often lately. She has figured out that in order to get something from a store I will have to pay for it first. She still didn’t think that she needs to pay for a toy in Toys R Us.

Are We Poor?
If I tell heer something is too expensive and we can’t afford it, or tell her to find a cheaper one in another store or online, she will ask me this question. Should I tell her it is not about poor or rich?

Why Daddy Brings The Money, Not Mom?
I don’t know how she finds out that it is daddy who brings home the pay check. She asks me why mom doesn’t get a job. If my answer is that taking care of her, her brothers and her daddy is my job, she will ask me why I didn’t get paid for that. If I tell her if I get job, her daddy will have to stay home, she will say why not.

Why Money Is Made of Paper?
I really had no clue why money is made of paper. Can we make a plastic one, perhaps?

Why Nobody Give Me The Money?
After she helps me to do the laundry or clean up the dishes, she will ask me why I didn’t pay her for her job. Should I award her with real cash? It just didn’t seem right to me.

Can I Print My Own Money?
I guess everyone will love the idea as long as the policeman is OK with it.

Why $20 Bill Is Same Size As $1 Bill?
I don’t know the why either, and I can’t find the answer anywhere. Maybe someone can help me out?

Why Do We Have Quaters Instead Of 20 Cents Coins?
I can’t give her the answer, because in my opinion, penny and dime are all we need. Why do we create nickle and quater?
