The Cost of Help is High These Days

The other day my MIL decided to drop off a bunch of stuff – why? I don’t know, I guess we need more stuff. Anyways, Aishtyn offers to help carry in the boxes, and when she is finished, tells Nana that she owes her, “Ten bucks.” Apparently, there are no free rides in Aishtyn’s town – who proceeded to make up a song and dance about how Nana has to pay her ten dollars. Despite the hilarity of the song, and the precociousness of her demands, Aishtyn did not get $10. Instead, she got a little lecture on favors, and the priceless pleasure of helping out.
