He said that a boy in his class had given it to him and said he could keep it if Jace would be his friend.
An 11 cent friendship. Part of this made me sad- everyone has such a desire to be included and wanted, no matter the cost.
I told Jace to give the money back and tell him that he'd be his friend for free.
True friendship can't be bought.

Oh my goodness, that is the cutest and at the same time saddest thing I have ever heard.
Jace looks so old in this picture! Did he give the money back?
Yes..he gave the money back. Before school he told me he had the money and was going to give it back. I told him to rehearse what he was going to say and he wouldn't, he just said he knew what to say. His report when he got home was that he said, "Here's your money." His friend said, "I already gave it to you." Jace said, "I know I don't need any money." The girl next to them said, "I'll have it." Go figure. Atleast he did the right thing.
I want to wrap that child in my arms and cry.
