Money Talks

Rosie's class at school decided to build an ice cream shop in their dramatic play area. That's probably the only thing that could be more fun than a subway, which was what they made last fall. They built it, decorated it, made a menu, and now it is open for business. Here's a conversation her teacher wrote down yesterday:

Rosemary: "Can I have some ice cream? What dollars is it?"
Ellis: "What dollars?"
Rosemary: "There's dollars here? (gets money box) See dollars?"
Felix: "Please can I have some dollars? 1 dollar for ice cream. There we go. I was gonna pay for ice cream."
Rosemary: "I was gonna pay for marshmallows."
Elijah: "Please help me." (Rosemary opened the money box. Elijah got out a dollar.)
Rosemary: "Can I have some ice cream?"
Ellis: "Only if you give me money." (Rosemary hands Ellis a dollar, Ellis pretends to hand Rosemary ice cream, and she eats it.)
Rosemary: "Can I have some ice cream?"
Ellis: "Give me a dollar."
Elijah: "We looking for ice cream somewhere." (Elijah walks back and forth between the kitchen set and the door.)
Milo: "Little cookies!" (Milo put his hand on the picture of the little cookies on the menu.)
Ellis: "But you didn't give me any money."
Milo:"Oh, money." (Milo gets a dollar from the box and hands it to Ellis.)
