candy store

Last weekend, my husband was hard at work on a new backyard improvement: a sitting wall for one of our patios.

My son was hard at work too: in his candy store. Here's how it works.

First, go to the counter of the store and request the type of candy you would like. He has a wide selection, but the most popular is Curious George gummy snacks.

You'll need money to pay for your candy. See those rocks on the ledge? That's the money. He'll give you one after you place your order.

 

You give him your rock money, and he gives you the candy. Then he throws the money into this jumble of cactus, bush, and rocks. I asked him why he did that, and he said, very matter-of-factly, "That's my cash register."

 

Now you can enjoy your candy! And be glad you're not the poor employee who has to retrieve the money from that cash register.
