Our Little Entreupener

Today was 'canteen' day at school.

Moishe comes home and tells me, "Mommy gave us each $2. I spent $1 but I have $6 change."
Me: "Huh?"
Moishe: "Well, I bought 10 gumballs for $1. Then I sold one of them to Mendele for $5. So I ended up with 9 gumballs and $6..."

Perfect opportunity for a lesson about economics (fair prices), halacha (אונאה), and math (how to calculate $4.90 in change for Mendele.)

The Lego Menorah Tradition

As practiced by Jews worldwide since 1974.

(Moishe's right arm was found and reattached later that day.)
