the value of a dollar

I created this little shirt for my 5 year-old godson while back home this passed weekend. As you can see it's made out of a dollar bill...cash origami if you will.

He was entertained for about a minute. Then he informed me that he already had money, "I don't need another dollar, I already have two."

"Well now you have three". I tell him.
"No, I'm going to give this one to Louie". Louie is my nephew, his cousin.

So he ran off and gave the dollar shirt to my nephew. Then he was back in a flash and announced that he was going to run home to get his two dollars and off he went.

"Boy is he going to be dissapointed when he realizes that he spent those two dollars on candy earlier today", his mother tells us just as soon as he leaves. Sure enough, not five minutes later he barged in with a huge frown on his face.

"What happened?", I inquired trying not to laugh.
"Well, my dad spent it all!", he sulked and began crying.

After his mother explained to him about his candy spree earlier in the day and he realized his mistake, he cried some more. For the remainder of my stay he kept hinting at wanting another dollar shirt, which I didn't give him of course. Hey, it's my duty as his godfather to teach him these life lessons. Maybe now he'll realize the value of a dollar.
