That's not very nice, trying to scam a kid out of their cool leaf for a measly ice cream.

In an effort to teach my kid about money, I offered to give my kid $1 to buy the rocks in their pocket. They said yes, but took my dollar and tried to walk away. After wrestling the dollar back, it became a uneasy truce where we both hand things back at the same time.

And halfway through, my kiddo said this was dumb and gave me some of his rocks if I left him alone.

There's no meaning to this story.
