Of Taxing the Poor Children

Some time ago, I started demanding (or requesting, is probably a better word) a "mommy tax" on any goodies that suited my fancy that the kids would acquire from school/church/friends, etc. They usually grumble a bit, then hand over a little nibble of whatever it is I am wanting. Maile brought home a delicious looking brownie from joy school the other day, and without me even asking, said; "Mom, you can have some tax if you want." I love it!

LOL! I love it! That's a good idea...I think I'll try to implement it this Halloween. Usually I take my "mommy tax" from their trick-or-treat bags after they go to sleep. They don't need that much candy! But now I think that Ellie is old enough that she's going to notice when things are missing...
