Ella Negotiates

Ella is always trying to negotiate, and she's pretty good at it too.
Ella: How can I earn some money?
Me: If you clean up this mess, I'll pay you a penny.
Ella: How about 2 pennies?
Me: Okay, I'll pay you 2 pennies.

After cleaning the mess...

Me: Thanks Ella! Let me get your money for you.
Ella: How about, can I have 3 pennies instead?
Me: No, we agreed on 2.
Ella: But I cleaned it really super fast.

However, she is learning that not everything is negotiable.

Ella: When will the muffins be done cooking?
Me: In 5 minutes.
Ella: How about, can we make it 3 minutes?
