Cheap, I Tell You

In case you didn't hear, Nickels, our oldest, got his nickname by swallowing two Thomas Jefferson-headed beauties.

A few days later, he brought me a dime and said "HERE."

I went "Why are you giving me a dime?" And he said "Because you said you wanted your nickels back."

Then I asked "Well, where are the nickels?"

And he said "I just flushed them."

See, he knew I'd be cheesed that he flushed PERFECTLY GOOD NICKELS so he gave me the dime.

Yeah, I'm cheap. So cheap I expect my kids to actually dig money out of the toilet if they've developed a penchant for swallowing coins.

But, if you are wondering, I prefer to be called "thrifty", not "crazy", thank you.
