That's okay....

Nathan spent the day on the farm Friday and was a big helper for Grandpa. My grandma got a new propane tank on Friday, and Dad went over to help them set the tank. Grandma has bushes in front the propane tank, and so my Dad started trimming them before they set the new tank. Nathan walks into great grandma's garage and get a bushel basket to start picking up the sticks. He picks them all up for her. Great grandma offers Nathan money for helping her since he picked up all the twigs. Nathan told great-grandma, "No that's okay, I have lots of money I don't need anymore."

I was proud of him for not taking money from great grandma, but that didn't stop him from taking the handful of change that his grandpa gave him when we left Friday evening. When I questioned him about it, he said that he worked harder for grandpa so that's why he took his money but not great grandma's.
