When did they start teaching entrepreneurship in 1st grade?

i know, another post. two in one day. well, i just had to get this on the blog. i promise it will give you a good laugh. here goes....last friday, we picked kurtis up from school. chuck and i were both there. as we were driving off, kurtis held up a $10 bill. he went on to tell us that his friend jonathan gave it to him. of course, chuck and i inquired. he told us that he sold jonathan his marker and his eraser for $10. (i knew which eraser he was talking about. a few days before i found it in his pocket while doing laundry. it was used on both ends and it had been stabbed in the middle with a pencil. kurtis found it on the washing machine and was excited. he went into the bathroom and washed it with soap and spiffed it up. now i know why.) well, we told him how that wasn't an honest deal. and that he will have to give the money back to jonathan. chuck and i were thinking that jonathan probably gave kurtis his lunch account money, cause why else would a kid come to school with a $10 bill? so, on this past monday, kurtis gets in the car after school and is sooooo excited about his new $10 bill. this is the second one! he continues to tell me that he sold all his markers to jonathan. jonathan supposedly wanted these markers really bad. by the way, these are the classroom markers. they belong to the teacher if anyone! kurtis said that his friend jacob used to have them and when he moved he handed them down to kurtis. and now jonathan wanted them. well, anyways, kurtis was very excited. he told us that all the needed wasd 3 more $10 bills and then he will have $50. (good job on the addition there kurtis, it's one good thing that came out of this!) he said with the $50 he is going to buy a surprise from sabrina. who the heck is sabrina?!?!!? i told kurtis, "honey this girl is going to take your money and run!" of course he argued that she really does have a surprise he can buy. we later found out it's a gameboy. kurtis is currently earning his gameboy. i guess he found an easier way to get it....selling school markers and used erasers on the black market.
well, needless to say, i tried calling jonathan's mother and father. but their number didn't work. so i emailed the teacher and let her know about the "dealings" going on with kurtis. she called and was of course shocked. i told her i was going bring her the money and she could get it to jonathan's parents. she said that she's been teaching them about money. i told her, "well, they get it!" we were laughing so hard. oh, and she also said she was going to talk to the kids today. well, yesterday after school, i asked kurtis if his teacher said anything about it. he said, "yeah, she said no buying or selling at school". hopefully, that is that. chuck and i have decided....at least it wasn't kurtis buying the crap for $10!!!!
