  Van received a gift card from Aunt Atley for his birthday. It was burning a hole in his pocket and he decided that he NEEDED to go to Wal-Mart to spend it. So off we went. He knew exactly what he wanted..he saw the commercial and everything. He wanted color changing Hot Wheels. So he gets what he wants and he is so excited to pay with his "credit card." After he hands the cashier his card, she scans it, and throws it in the trash. He was devistated!! He could not understand why she didn't give his credit card back...we get our credit card back when we pay...it wasn't fair!! We had to discuss that his card was a gift card and that after the money on it is gone, the card is no good anymore. We also had to discuss the Mommy and Papi go to work everyday so that we will get more money on our cards, too. Then he asked how he will get more money on his card. To make a long story short, Van now has chores around the house that he will earn money on Fridays to put onto his "credit card." He has to pick up the toys around the house, take out the trash, and set and clear the table. Pretty reasonable chores for a 5 year old. He loves the "chore" thing. He must ask 5 times a day if the trash needs to be taken out!! If only his excitement will stay forever...I doubt it...but I can dream!!

  Uncle Nathan:  I have several of the color changing Hot Wheels, they are VERY cool.
