Sandwich Maker

Maddie loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  She has them for lunch every day.

Braden and Kinslee don't care for them as much and normally find something else to eat.

When Braden and Kins are feeling especially lazy, they choose peanut butter and jelly because they know Maddie will usually make them a sandwich to their exact liking.

Braden's Choice?  Teeny bit of peanut butter and a huge amount of jelly.

Kinslee doesn't like jelly, so she has peanut butter and honey.

Maddie likes tons of peanut butter and just enough jelly to make the sandwich go down easily.

So yesterday Maddie got out the sandwich making supplies and here's how the conversation went:

Braden:  Maddie? Will you make me a sandwich?

Maddie:  Sure.

Braden:  I'd pay you like...a dollar.

Maddie:  Really?

Braden: Well...maybe 10 cents.

Maddie:  How about 50 cents?

Braden:  OK, it's a deal!

Maddie looks at me with a huge grin on her face, knowing that she just got a pretty sweet deal!

Kinslee had to get in on the action, too, and ended up bringing Maddie a dollar bill.  Thankfully Maddie wouldn't take it and said, "Just go get me 2 quarters!"

Maddie may have a future in business....Braden better stick with engineering!
