Minutes

Kid1 called the meeting to order at 7:01 pm.

Kid1 asked Kid2 to put her dolls away. Kid2 declined with extreme prejudice.

1.0 Money and math

• $30 is a lot of money, as much as you spend in a day. If your child asked for $30 you would say no because it would be giving your day’s worth of money to your child.
• $30 x 7 = $210, so that is as much money as we spend in a week.
• $10,000 is how much you usually spend in a year, per Mr. Kantres (gym and health teacher).
  • Daddy began giggling, which was distracting
• This is how much Mr. Kantres’ dad spends on cigarettes in addition to how much he spends on regular things. This means that he is burning that money on doing something that is not very healthy – smoking.
• Kid1 asked if there were any questions or comments. There were none.
• Daddy moved that when the meeting finishes, Kids 1 and 2 put on their pajamas. Mommy seconded. Motion carried

2.0 Other business

• Kid2 informed us that there was a puppy around the house and offered us the opportunity to pet it. On closer inspection the puppy was stuffed. Kid2 attempted to offer everyone a turn to pet the puppy, but stated, “This is kind of awkward,” on encountering an obstacle in Kid2. A chair was involved somehow
• Mommy asked if there was any other business. Kid2 offered the puppy to Kid1 to pet.
• Kid1 requested a printed copy of the minutes.

Daddy moved to adjourn. Motion carried.

Meeting adjourned at 7:09 p.m.
