儿子的少林功夫班应邀在本地的华人新年晚会上表演，儿子也就理所当然的上台去秀了秀他大半年所学的拳脚功夫了。过了新年，朋友送来了一张有儿子照片的报纸。 老爸一看，冲儿子喊了一嗓子：“Son, you are famous now! You see, you are on thenewspaper!”
小人儿正在自己玩玩具，头都没抬：“Well, dad, since I am famous, you should give me 10 bucks as reward.”
“哈哈，好，让你老爸出钱吧！”妈妈在厨房里帮腔说。
“Come on, you are famous, you should give me money.”老爸和儿子吵开了。
“No! You give ５ bucks to sister when she gets an A from school. So I should have reward for this.” 儿子可是见钱眼开地。
“Ok, Ok. But this is not an A. So it is only worth a quarter.”老爸只有讨价还价的份了。
“Ok. A quarter. Put into my pig bank.”
哎，老爸老妈每个周末接接送送，到头来还得白白损失一个quarter，连谢谢都没捞到一个。这年头。。。
