Fun at church with a 3.5 year old

Attending church with a 3.5 year-old can sometimes be a little challenging. Ty's pretty good in general, but we still try to get him as involved as possible to keep him engaged. One of the jobs we give him is to put the money in the offering basket. This morning I continued that tradition, but he added a new twist: as I handed him the money he looked up at me with his inquisitive eyes and said (rather loudly), "Mommy, why do we have to pay for church?"
