Day 169 - I almost passed out from 13 year old daughter's request

Forget jaw dropping or falling off of the chair - I almost PASSED OUT today:

13 year old comes to me and says she's going to the store with her friends and wants to take only $10 with her so she doesn't OVERSPEND, but she only has a $20 bill and a bunch of change in her SPENDING bank - and can I break the $20 bill for her?!!!

I just nodded, opened the Bank of Parents, and handed her the 2 $10 bills. I did it without speaking because I was speechless (actually, I was barely breathing). What Divinities have been visiting my children?
