an even trade?

Honest to goodness conversation that we just had: (and a very needed smiel on a rough day):

Kaden:  Mommy, I want this Mater truck.  (pointing to an ad)
Me:  You mean the wagon?  We don't have room for that.
Kaden:  But I want it.
Me:  Well, I suppose if you wanted to pack up ALL your toys, and give them to a little boy who doesn't have anything, then we would have room.
Kaden:  OK!  (runs off to the living room)
Hmm, what I need now is a bag.  I've seen one around.
Nana:  You could use this box over here.
Kaden:  Yes, thank you!
Nana:  What are you doing?
Kaden:  I'm packing up all my toys to give to a big boy like me.
Nana:  Why? 
Kaden:  So I can go buy the Mader truck.
Nana:  Is it really worth it?
Kaden:  Oh, yes.

After a few minutes, he has piled all the living room toys into a box and a bag.
Kaden:  Ok Mom, let's go get the Mader truck.  I packed up all my toys.
Me:  Well, that was just the living room.  What about the toys in your bedroom?
Nana, speaking to me:  I don't know where you got this from, but it wasn't your childhood.

Now, if you'll excuse me folks, I have a huge pile of toys that either need to be loaded in the truck or put back away...
