Good Birth Control

Money is an obsession in our house.  We all want to make more and spend less, right?  Well, Biscuit’s new interest is learning the name of the people on every coin and dollar bill.  His face was quite amusing when he brought me a peso and a wheat penny and told me someone gave him funny money and he wasn’t happy about it.

So, naturally when Wrangler brought me a quarter and wanted to know the name of the man on it, I wasn’t even surprised.   After telling him it was George Washington, he informed me that I was wrong:

Wrangler:  No it ain’t Mom!
Michele:  So who is it then?
Wrangler:  I can’t remember his name but that’s not what Biscuit said.  (He then inspects the quarter as if ol’ George might give him a hint while I roll my eyes.)
Wrangler:  Hey Mom, look!  It’s got his phone number under his head.  Why don’t you call him and ask him what his name is? 

As you can imagine, this is my thick headed child.  There’s no convincing him that the number is the date the coin was produced and not the man on the quarter’s phone number.  I had to tell him that George moved because the phone number was no longer valid.  8-|
