Conversation with Timmy

Tuesday was a National holiday here in Indonesia.
On Wednesday morning, on our way to school,
Timmy told me: "Mom, I wish everyday is a holiday like yesterday."

Me: "Tim, if everyday is a holiday, then what would we do for a living? Papa needs to work, so we can have money to buy things like food, and pay for your school fees, etc.  And if Mama stays at home the whole day, and if I don't go to the market to buy food and cook for you, what are you going to eat?"

Tim: "I think we should have a money making machine Mom."
Me: "A money making machine?"
Tim: "Yeah, a money making machine. If I turn the handle of the money making machine, then money will come out."
Me: "Ooo  Wow."
Tim: "And then we need a bucket Mom."
Me: "A bucket?"
Tim: "Yes, so when the money comes out, we can put it under the machine."
Me: "Ah...you mean the coins will come out.So the bucket is to keep the coins."
Tim: " Not coins Mom. The paper money.  The one hundred thousands and fifty thousands ones."
Me: "Hahahaha."
