“Slow down. What are you doing?”
“Selling magazines to go to camp.”
“What camp?”
“Football camp. I can go to football camp and get this cool radio if I sell enough subscriptions.”

“We have a lot of different magazines; cooking, outdoors, home improvement. That sort of thing.”
“And how does this help you at football camp?”
“I earn points for my jersey. And I can get this cool radio.”
“You really want the radio, huh?”
“Yeah, it can be wound up in an emergency.”
“Here’s twenty bucks. Go buy the radio.”
