The TV Was on During Dinner
The TV is never on at dinner so Isabelle, knowing something was wrong, asked about Freddie and Fannie and AIG. Putting his expensive education to work, Brad began to explain macroeconomics. Even more brilliantly, he used props! A Heinz Tomato Ketchup bottle represented a company, a cup represented banks, the utensils represented consumers and M&Ms represented currency. Isabelle listened patiently to Brad’s elaborate, yet carefully crafted explanation of capitalism. Isabelle studied the scene with a thoughtful look – hmmm, a cup refusing to give M&Ms to the Heinz Tomato Ketchup bottle. Brad leaned in with the quiet satisfaction of Socrates ready to answer the student’s first enlightened question. Eventually, Isabelle looked up from the ketchup and asked, “So, does all Ketchup have tomatoes in it?”
