By 'law', how old should the child be before the maid I can keep all money (belonging to said child) found in the washer/dryer? Is 4 too young? In the past two weeks, I found $11 in the dryer and 72 cent in the dryer.

Saturday afternoon, P tore herself away from her computer and TV in Choas Cave (her room) to ask for 2 pieces of PLAIN.WHITE.PAPER. (she said it like that, so I wouldn't confuse it with PLAIN. PLAID.PAPER).
About 5 minutes after giving her the paper, she asked for 2 pieces of tape, which I gave her. When she asks for glue, tape or paint, I MUST find out what she is 'creating', so I went towards her room, and saw each of the pieces of paper taped to opposite sides of the doorframe:

see why her room is called Chaos Cave)
Me: What are those signs for?
P: *pointing to the paper on the left* This one says NO you can't come in my room.
Me: What is the other for?
P: *pointing to the paper on the right* This one says YES you can come in my room, if you give me 20 bucks.
Me: Why should I give you $20?
P: If you give me 20 bucks, you can come in my room and watch my tv or use my computer.
Me: I don't have $20.
P: Fine, you can just give me $4. I know you have it because I saw them in your purse.
Since some of you are keeping score, I must mention that I didn't give her any money. If I did, I'm sure I would find it in the wash next week.

Here is the pic of the new hoop d'ville. Once I decide if it's a boy or girl, I'll need help naming it:
