Thousands of pounds

Did the prodigal son on Sunday, and I asked my class of 6-8 year olds, " If you had thousands of pounds you could spend on yourself, on whatever you liked, what would you spend it on?
Here are the answers I got:

• 2 swimming pools for the summer and 50 rabbits for the winter
• Lego
• Food and water [this sounds like a what-I-think-my-teacher-wants-me-to-say answer]
• Plastic surgery [this appeared to be a joke, or I would be rather concerned]
• Lentils and carrots and things to make soup

The prodigal son spending his money

Did you know that 'prodigal' means 'wasteful'?
