Tai Pi goes to work


We always felt that the girls could do with a better sense of the value of money. So when the chance for Tai Pi to work at a friend's office presented itself, we asked her to go for it. She didn't need much persuading; the $10 a day pay was enough to entice her. So last Thursday, she spent the day sticking on barcodes and attaching hair elastic to cardboard pieces. But it was not all work. She and her fellow worker (Boss' son) had lunch at McDonald's and also played hide and seek at the office. At the end of the day, she was rewarded with her first pay. See picture of Tai Pi with her hard earned money.

Tai Pi was eager to make some more money and so this morning we sent her to work again. When I spoke to her on the phone this afternoon, she was complaining that her fellow workers (Boss' sons) were teasing her. Well, when she grows up, she'll probably encounter difficult colleagues so might as well learn to deal with it now....
