I Have the Money!!

This is what sweet little Thomas was yelling (yes, YELLING!) to me as he came into the library first thing Friday morning.  No one else was there yet, and he was so excited to find me.  "Miss R, Miss R! I want to buy this book!" and he was holding the book up high for me to see.
I was laughing as he explained that he had enough money to buy the book.  He loved it so much.  He came right into my office and gave me the book and his money:

Why, yes, he did have enough money!! That is a bill for a trillion dollars.  And President Abraham Lincoln is right there on the front.
I am indeed glad that Thomas loved that book so much, but I had to explain it to him that he couldn't buy it, no matter how much money he had, since it was a library book and lots of other boys and girls love that book too.
It was a great way to start my Friday.
