What could Paige buy at the mall for one measly dollar?

Hmm. The last thing I believed was that Peter would actually do any homework. So I just assumed she did that to get him away from the TV, or out of the living room, or out of the house.

Sort of like Andy when she finally had the whole day to write, but she didn’t. She wondered what would inspire her. She found her inspiration whenever Roger wanted to play chess.

She could cut out the middlewoman and bribe Peter to do his homework, but that might cost extra.

Paige asked one question and it was mission accomplished. I’d say a dollar is fair for the effort involved.
