It was bedtime. I offered 2 Euros to Leilani for going to bed by herself. Seeing her reluctant expression my mom quickly raised to 5 Euros. Leilani demanded my iPhone (loaded with prime \/ unheard audiobooks) on top of it and the bedtime routine took less 10 minutes for me, instead of an hour. We repeated this once in Austria for the same price.<\/p>\n<p>Friday, Andy and I had dinner guests without kids here, and afterwards we played the game Kaua&#8217;i-opoly (as in Monopoly, only Kaua&#8217;i-themed). Again, I offered the 5 &#8211; just Dollars instead of Euros, Leilani demanded the iphone, and went to brush her teeth. (Andy was a bit shocked at the price when he found out).<\/p>\n<p>The next morning Leilani decided she wanted to donate the money for the defenders of wildlife to save the wolves.
