Scout is quite the shmooz.
Or maybe he is more of a con artist…..you choose.

For a few weeks, I have been picking up Scout at school, and he has had one of the after school snacks that they sell.
Four dollar Jamba Juices or Hawaiian Shaved Ice.
At first I innocently thought that he must have conned Micah out of four bucks each morning.
But I finally asked him where he was getting all of the money for the treats.
To which he replied…completely nonchalantly…
“Oh….Mary buys them for me every time. She told me that if I play with her at recess, then she would buy me whatever I want after school. So I just play with her, and she buys me everything.”
And then he informed me, “But now I have played with her long enough, she said that I earned her buying me stuff for the rest of the year.”
Amazed at this deal he is involved in, I asked, “Do you still play with her?”
And he said, “NO! That’s the best part! I don’t even have to play with her anymore!”

Poor in-love Mary.
Poor Mary’s parents who must be out $40 by now.
Poor me, the next time I see Mary’s parents.

Shmooz or Con?
Or jerk.
