I love this idea, @diebitch. I'm launching that start-up immediately! Ha ha.
The child's observation that people who are desperately seeking food, relief from the heat and other things that money can buy is spot on. Of course we can buy some happiness. Whoever said money can't buy happiness was off their rocker. Although... I do get the point and the spirit of the expression, which is that you can have money and no friends, no love, no joy. None of us wants that!
Anyway, I really enjoyed this story! It's charming and it put a smile on my face!
@jayna idea patented :P years from now if someone uses this, I have proof on the blockchain :)
