Mom:  If I were to write a children's book, will you be my illustrator? 

Emmie:  Sure!

Mom:  That would be a great start for someone that wants to be an artist.

Emmie:  Yeah, but what would the book be about?

Mom:  The message of the book would be about having an "I can" instead of "I can't" attitude.  It would be a life lesson.

Emmie:  No, let's make it something fun, like how to raise a puppy.  And, you have to pay me.  $1 per drawing.

Mom:  How about I pay you a 20% royalty?

Emmie:  What does that mean?

Mom:  For every book that sells, if we make a $5 profit, you get $1.

Emmie:  No, I want $1 for each drawing.

Mom:  I think you'd come out ahead if you were to take the royalty.  

Emmie:  Yeah, but you get $4 for each book, and that's not fair.  I'd have to get $2, or $3 or $4.

Mom:  What was the best part of your school day?
