EDM #121 - Draw a coin or some coins and journal about memories about coins from your childhood.
Alex is seven years younger than I am. When he was tree or four I got the brilliant idea that I could pay him to tidy up my room. If he took everything up from the floor he earned six coins. The coins was “femöringar”, not in use anymore and hardly worth anything even back then.
The guilt still haunt me. Now and then I try to pay it off and we have talked about it but it is something left. Weird.
A good thing about it is that I am very sensible about what I say to children and how to get them to do stuff. One of the most important things in my opinion (nowadays) is: never lie to children, never dupe or trix them into doing things that I know that they don’t like or that they might dislike in the future. I have my bad days of course.

My dear sister. I was happier for those six coins than I would have been if I had only gotten one coin of higher value. But I love the idea that this still haunts you, that is so typically you and one of a trillion reasons why I love you.
