Quarters


Today I changed diaper bags and discovered a rather large stash of quarters in one of the pockets. I started thinking "why do I have so many quarters?" Then it came to me, if I ever have a quarter I aways throw it into a pocket on the diaper bag so when we go have dinner with The Husband at the mall they can have a quarter to get a treat from one of the quarter machines on our way back to the car. Why do I do this? I remember always wanting to get a toy or candy from the quarter machine growing up but never did. I know it's pretty much a wast of money but there is something about the fun a child has knowing they were good at dinner and earned the quarter and get to look at each little machine to pick out the perfect gum ball flavor. Oh the simple joys in life a quarter can bring.

  1. I thought maybe you always sat by a really fat person and had then sit on your dollars so quarters popped out...

  2. Wow Jes that's funny. Isn't that a "your mama" joke? I think that is very nice of Sarah to do that.
