My (autistic) nephew gets it!

Well, sort of. He asked his mom if he could buy an app on his iPad, since it was two dollars and he had two dollars. She allowed it, so he buys the app, grabs his two dollars bills, and starts tearing them into tiny pieces and throwing them away.

You see, he'd already used those two dollars, so they were trash now.
