Lets Trade

Yesterday, Jeff and I took that kids to McDonald's for lunch. I know it not the most nutritional place but there it is a PlayPlace and a great place for Hayden to burn off some energy.
Anyway, we sat down to eat; Hayden and I with chicken nuggets and Jeff with a cheeseburger. About half way through, Hayden asks if he can have some of Jeff's cheeseburger? Jeff says "Yes but you have to trade" (I am sure that Jeff was thinking that he would get a chicken nugget). Hayden stops and thinks about this concept, for it is kinda new.
Jeff explains that if Hayden wants to have some hamburger then he needs to give Daddy some chicken nuggets, fries or apples. Hayden still looks kinda confused but begins to get the concept of trading. So Jeff cuts off a piece of hamburger and Hayden chooses an apple to give Jeff.
Jeff hands over the burger and Hayden slowly hands the apple across the table and stops. He looks at the apple, quickly grabs the burger, takes a bit of the apple and then hands it to Jeff.
Jeff takes his half eaten piece of apple and says, "I defiantly got the raw end of this deal." I just sit back and laugh and Hayden proudly eats the hamburger.
