Port had his Market in class today.

They each get $150 a week in class.

They have to pay for such things as going to the bathroom, or disturbing the class.

Well, the market they had today, the kids got to make something and then bring it and sell it.

Port made those cute egg carton animals.

Well, when he came home....he came home with a box FULL of cookies, brownies and cupcakes!!!!!

Oh man!

When i asked him how much he made.....he said about $5 :(

I asked him if no one bought them, and he said, no they bought them all, then I just spent it!!!!!

Dang kid!

We had a little talk about it and how it wasn't very responsible for him to take the time to make those and sell them, only to blow the money on stuff that won;t even last.

And that he probably can't eat before it goes bad!!!!!

His friend Kason came home with him after school and they had a late night, playing and laughing all afternoon together.

When Kason left, Porter got very emotional.

I asked what was wrong.

He said he just felt dumb for spending all his money.

I told him that it was okay, we had a talk about it and it is over now.

I told him that he learned a very good life lesson that was better to learn with fake money than it was with real money!!!!!

He still felt really bad.

He feels a lot of anxiety about stuff......but I told him not to worry.

Worrying does no good for anyone!!!!!

All you can do is move on and do better at the next market.

AND he has a really good story to use in a sacrament meeting talk sometime in his life!!!!!!

Could be related to several gospel topics :)

He also got his birthday package int he mail from Emmy and just could not wait to open it!!!!
