I dropped Javie off at dance at 4:00 and came back to pick him up at 6:00. When I picked him up he seemed a little sad. I asked him what was wrong, and this is how his story went: I'm sad because at 5:00 I switched classes and in between the switch I ran upstairs to the bending machine and wanted to get this awesome big pack of donuts for $1.50. But I already spent all of my money but a $1.25. So I laid on the floor to see if there was any money under the machines and I saw something big and silver (there are 2 receptionists right there facing the vending machines) I couldn't reach it, so I ran outside and climbed up a tree. (Just so you know, these are the little landscaping trees about 12 feet tall in front of the building). I broke off a limb and stuck it under my shirt so that they wouldn't see me, and came back in. So I got the money with the stick, but it was only a nickel, the 2nd to worst one I could get. Then I only had $1.30, and it wasn't even enough to get anything good, cuz I already bought the powerade."
Then I asked him where he was getting all this money to spend on junk food anyway. He said, "oh ya know how you gave me, and Sydney, and Ellie all a dollar, well they gave it back to me and said, we can't take your mom's money."
Don't you love the way kids earn money? This story is hilarious - the ingenuity of your boy. He's going to be rich someday.
ReplyDeleteOne summer, I had my kids earning quarters to save up for a swim park in Utah (Cherry Hill - lots of fun for little swimmers). One of Carson's friends came over and saw the quarter jar. the next day, he came over with a "donation".
This method works pretty well.
HAHA I seriously love hearing about your boys and their crafty ways for everything they do. The whole time I'm reading i am smiling, even when I haven't even gotten to the funny parts yet, because I know it's gonna be funny. I LOVE the Davis boy's stories.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha! Good old Javie.
ReplyDeleteLove your boys stories. They keep me smiling all the time.
ReplyDeleteIt's the same for me as it is for Cin. I just smile the whole time I'm reading, waiting for more good and funny stuff to come. Then I always end up laughing out loud in the end. Love it!
