My 7 year old has opened a library at home. My partner owes ₹6 in late fees

She has numbered all her books with stickers, made cards for each of us, and keeps a register. Borrowing period is two days. The fine is a rupee a day, and she is not flexible about weekends. My partner borrowed a comic last week and forgot it in the car. The register has been brought to the dinner table twice now.

    Pay the fine. Our son ran a 'shop' at that age and my unpaid tab came up at every dinner for months. It's cheaper to settle early. ❤

      Ours was a toll on the corridor to the kitchen, two rupees per crossing. He now says he is going to be a banker.
