Three Days

I'm not sure what they're teaching my daughter in pre-kindergarden. On Wednesday she brought me one of her beautiful drawings. She just handed it to me and said she had plenty and I needed one for my desk.

On Thursday she again brought me a drawing, but she told me I'd have to give her "two tickets" for it. I told her I had no tickets and couldn't afford her drawing.

On Friday she stopped by my desk and gave me two tickets. A few minutes later she brought me another drawing and I handed her the tickets.

On my desk cork board I now have three drawings in her "Economic Series." First, Communism where I was given according to my need by she according to her ability. Beside it is Capitalism -- on loan from my wife who had tickets. Finally, this triptych ends with Socialism, where the state subsidized my art purchase.

I've been trying to think of another theme she can use. I've thought of two:

Slavery, in which you force her in some way to do a drawing

Post-scarcity, in which she devises an automated system to produce essentially unlimited quantities of drawings with minimal human involvement.
(You'll need a bigger corkboard!)
