Shorting money

At this point, from her birthday presents and several summer yard sales Gwenchik has about $200 in cash. About a week ago when her grandmother came to pick her up  and realized that she forgot her wallet Gwenchik generously offered the money that she has to grandma.

Gwenchik brings her new wallet that she got for her birthday and pulls out her riches -- $200. However all the dollar bills look weird -- much shorter than normal.
George: What is wrong with the dollar bills?
Gwen: Well, when I took the money from the envelope and transferred it into my new wallet the bills just wouldn't fit, so I cut the sides off. You see how nicely they fit now?

Snow

From Veronika
On our way to childcare, there is a dusting of snow on the ground:
Gwen: Dogs do not like the snow because it is cold and wet.
Veronika: Do you like the snow?
Gwen: I like to eat it, but my hands get cold and I cry.
Veronika: What should we do?
Gwen: You get the snow and bring it to the car, and you give it to me.
Veronika: I have a better idea. We both collect the snow in a plastic bag and keep it in the plastic bag.

So this is what we did. We collected the snow and she did not cry.
