We See Different Things

I look at the prizes
seeing Walmart
Seeing Oriental Trading
Seeing the Dollar store

The children look at the prizes
thinking beauty
thinking razzle dazzle
thinking they have won the lottery

Yep, they DO see things differently. We bought trinkets for a school carnival one year, and I remember being amazed at how little those worthless trinkets cost. The children loved them! I suspect they are far more expensive these days.

I thought the 5th and 6th graders would scoff and they were maybe more thrilled than the lower grades.
