My little Twy-Wad

We were out shopping and Claire wanted to buy a frame for her school teacher.  She had one all picked out and a little while later told me that she wanted to save her money and not buy the frame.

Claire:  I think I'm kind of a twy-wad (rhymes with sad).
Me:  A what?
Claire:  A twy-wad.  I read it in one of my books.  It's a person who doesn't like to spend money.
Me:  You mean a tightwad?
Claire:  Ohhh-- A tightwad.  That's it!
