five year olds and the spirit of capitalism May 11, 2008
At the mall food court:
Dina: Why do people work here?
Me: You mean, at the food court? Well, maybe they like it; or maybe they need the money.
Dina: (Briefly considering) I think they just need the money.
Me: Well, what kind of job do you think people do because they like it?
Dina: Like, a gymnastics instructor, or a karate instructor…
Me: Yeah, you’re probably right. People probably don’t work at the mall food court because they like it.
Dina; (knowing head shake) Nope.
