Money

Lucas received a Ben10 wallet as gift last Christmas. This Chinese New Year, with the angpows money, he started keeping money in his wallet i.e. his winnings from playing Black Jack. Recently, he has upgraded himself to money changer. For the past two weeks, he has been into money. First was asking for the new Malaysia currency notes. I had to go to real money changer to exchange some new notes for him. And now he is collecting foreign currencies! He knew we had some foreign currency in the drawer. Everyday he will come to me and said something like:

Lucas: Mom, I give you 2 10 ringgit notes and 1 20 ringgit note and you give me 1 10 euro note and 1 1 ringgit. (He even know the exchange rate).

Lucas: Mom, I gave you 1 50 ringgit note and you give me 1 10 pound note.

He has exchange everyday and honestly, I wasn't listening after a while. He will put his money into my wallet and I will just asked, "How much do I have to give you?". I trusted him being honest and had the exchange rate right.

His goal now is to have 1 100 euro note and he is short of 30 ringgit. He asked if he could have 30 ringgit and I said no. I told him he has to work and earn it. Yesterday, he asked,
Lucas: If I clean the playroom properly, how much will you give me?
or
Lucas: If I clean the whole house and mop the floor, how much will you give me?
