I Want an Action Figure NOW! (alternately titled: Determination)

Child (age 4):  I want a General Grievous action figure!

Parent:  OK, Christmas is coming.

Child:  I want it NOW!

Parent:  Do you have any money to buy one?

Child:  NO!  I don't have money, and I don't have a job so I can earn money!

Parent:  If you do all your regular jobs, you can do extra jobs to earn the money.

Child:  How much do I need?

Parent:  I don't know, lets look on the computer and see how much they are...   ... OK, that will be 7 days of doing extra jobs earning $1 each day.

Child:  OK.  What jobs do you need me to do?  I need to earn my money!!!!!

(after 4 days of doing jobs each day)

Child:  I NEED JOBS!!!!  WHY WON'T YOU GIVE ME JOBS?!?!  I AM STILL EARNING MONEY FOR A GENERAL GRIEVOUS ACTION FIGURE!!!!!!!
