Kids buy the darndest things

Giving your kids an allowance is a great way to teach them about the value of money and budgeting. But you have to hope they decide to spend their money wisely. A five‑year‑old girl is going viral for a surprising shopping choice. Instead of toys, Ella Dinelli used her allowance to buy a framed painting of the signing of the U.S. Constitution at Hobby Lobby. Her mom shared the moment on TikTok, and viewers have fallen in love with Ella — a self‑described history buff who loves presidents, documentaries, and even sings the national anthem whenever she can.
