If only you could copy money

Wednesdays Joe and I help out at an after school program. I did something similar in Illinois with the South Side Mission. It is always an experience. You never know how many kids or what is going to happen. Today was very small. Terrick was one of the kids there. He came in determined to make a duplicate dollar bill.

Terrick's Dollar instructions:
Start by copying both sides of the dollar (with help from Joe and Lynette)
Next cut the dollar out (They deffinately both ended up different sizes and did not match when put back to back.)
Next securely connect the 2 sides together with water and then freezing the dollar (?? where do kids come up with this stuff). Needless to say, that did not work as well as planned so he resorted to taping the sides together.

In the end I think we concluded we are just going to have to work for money. Too bad.

Anyway. Nothing much more. Class and actually I am now on a break for a 4 hour class that goes til 10:00 pm. not fun times. And worse yet, it is History. We shall see.

Welp, enjoy the dollar bill recipe and if anyone wants to come to Chicago this weekend I am free all weekend :) Back to class I go...
