Understanding the Economic Crisis, For Kids

Zan and I were in the playroom after dinner this evening, at which time the following exchange took place:

“Zan, we need to clean up these Legos.”

“Dad, I’m the sheriff. And you’re the sheriff, too. OK, Sheriff Jon?”

“OK, Sheriff Zan. Hey, Sheriff Zan?”

“Yes, Sheriff Jon?”

“We need to clean up these Legos.”

“But we have to pay money to clean up those Legos.”

“We have to pay money to clean something up?”

“Yeah, George Bush just made that up. Can you believe it?”

I have no idea where he came up with that one, but how fitting.

    Would you please talk Zan in to saying, “Our 401k will be stabilized after we clean up all of the legos?”
    Thanks a bunch!

    I’d be happy to settle for “We’ll have enough for the mortgage and groceries after we clean up the Legos”!
