Generosity

Olivia: "Mom, I have 4 cents to give to Rachel, see."
(Rachel is her piano teacher, and we are leaving for piano lessons in about an hour.)
Me: "Oh, that's nice. Why are you giving Rachel 4 cents?"
Olivia: (shy smile) "Because I'm generous."
Me: "Yes, you are."
Although it's pretty funny to hear "generous" and "4 cents" in the same conversation, Olivia is actually very generous. What you don't know is that she gave her brother $5 last week for no reason, and those were her last 4 pennies.
