The other day we were eating lunch at a church function. One of my friends told my youngest son (age 5) that he needed some honey (we have bees). He asked my son if it was free. My son said "No we charge for it." My wife replies that we charge cash, check, gold or silver. My fried asked my son if he would take copper? He replies yep, I'll also take aluminum. He then proceeded to tell them how he collects cans for the scrap value. My friend works as an electricialn and promised the little tyke some scrap aluminum wire.
My son also informed them that he would take paper, but only if the market is good.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams
If he keeps it up he'll own a scrap yard by the time he's 20yrs old. I wish I had,lots and lots of money in scrap. Your doing a good job raising him by teaching him about money early on.
We process honey where I work. We get in 55 gallon drums of the stuff. We had a guy puncture two drums with a forklift once and not notice it before a holiday weekend. I've never seen so much honey on the warehouse floor!!

That's aweful. When it comes to messes, a little honey goes a long way.
