Problem: Read the below conversation. Joshua: Dad. Allowance day. Can I have my allowance? Father: Oh. I forgot about that. Joshua: You ALWAYS forget. Father: I guess I do. How much do I owe you? Joshua: Just $13. Father: Thirteen dollars!? Why do I owe you that much? Just seems like I paid you the other day. Joshua: No. You forget every Saturday, and it has been piling up. Father: Well, I'm not sure if I have that much. Joshua: Go to the bank. You have lots of money. Father: Lots of money, uh? Uh, well, I think the bank is closed. Joshua: Then, what about your secret money jar under your bed? Father: Oh, I guess I could do that. So, what are you going to do with the money?

A: Father: Well, that's sounds great, Joshua.
