Tami took Sveta to the Cracker Barrel today. They played checkers while sipping hot chocolate and looked at all the fun stuff in the country store. Sveta asked Grandma to buy her something from the store, but Tami told her she couldn't buy anything. She explained to her that she was saving her money for Christmas and was broke. Sveta asked what "broke" meant. Tami explained it meant that she didn't have any money.
Later on they were leaving and Sveta found a quarter in the parking lot. Most 5 year olds would grip the quarter and celebrate their newfound "wealth". Not my sweet Sveta! Sveta quickly held the quarter out to her Grandma and offered it to her. Tami asked why she wanted to give the quarter away. Sveta simply replied, "I don't want you to be broken, Grandma". Awwwwww! Isn't that sweet?
