One day last week Scout came home one evening and told me that for no reason at all, her classmate Julia S. gave her ten dollars.

I told Scout she had to give it back, on account of, "I doubt Julia's parents know she's giving away money at school."

In case Julia found the give-back ungracious, I told Scout she could simply say, "My dad made me give it back."

So the next day I asked Scout if she gave the sawbuck back.

"Yeah," she said. "Julia said, 'What—doesn't your dad like money?'"
