While on a recent weekend trip to San Diego, we rented a surrey & peddled through an outdoor marketplace. Evangelina was interested in getting a fidget popper (a two-sided rainbow-colored rubber doohickey with "buttons" you press from either side), but all of them were being sold for $10-15. Some of the vendors were Hispanic, so big brother Jadon was put in charge of the haggling.
He dutifully asked, "Cuanto cuesta?" (How much?)
The vendor answered, "Diez dolares."
Evangelina looked at Jadon and asked, "So how much is it?"
Jadon, seeking to encourage his little sister in her abilities, said, "You know what that is. You can count."
Evangelina looked down & said to herself, "Uno, dos, diez!" then turned to JJ with excitement, "Mommy! It's only three dollars!!!"
