The backstory: In Audrey's class you can earn "money" by doing certain jobs or good things. Then they can use the "money" to buy special privileges. But if you are loud or misbehaving in any way you can get money taken away from you. Also, recently her teacher went on maternity leave and she has a retired sub for the remainder of the year.
Recent conversation: Audrey: Man I am so frustrated I used to have so much money and then my teacher left and now I have this sub.
ME: Why don't you have any money?
Audrey: Let's just say it's not because I'm buying so many privileges!!!!!
