The Trade . . .
This is a fast and true little story about a trade.
Over the weekend, I was at the San Diego bay with my friend, his
two dogs and my two boys.
We’re swinging on the swings, playing with the dogs and relaxing.
And we see a man from Tijuana Mexico pushing a little three wheeled
ice cream cart.
And my son Joe says . . .
“Dad . . . ice cream, ice cream.
Can we get an ice cream?”
And I say no.
( It’s close to dinner time. )
I have to confess that I’ve been teaching the boys a few things
about barter.
I’ve explained to them how if you can’t buy something with money,
you can sometimes trade something other then money to get what you
want.
So I forget about the ice cream man and my son goes off to play.
I’m talking to my friend and not really paying attention to what’s
going on.
And then I see Joe walking towards me licking an ice cream cone.
And I say, ” Joe, how in the heck did you get that ice cream?”
And he says . . .
“Dad I told the ice cream man that I did not have any money and if
he traded me an ice cream for this stick, that he could sell it on
eBay for $1000.”
My son still has a lot to learn about barter, but I thought this
was a cute little story nevertheless.
And I hope you think so too.
