I'll give you 10 bucks if...

Random family moment:

If I remember correctly, when I was around 3rd grade, living in Watertown, SD, my dad offered me money (I remember $100) if I could recite all 12 of the disciples. I thought that would be easy. I'm sure I probably told him all four of the Gospel writers and possibly Hebrews. I didn't even get close. Well, last night I was reading some books with Jonah and he pulled out an "old school" book from when he was 2 or 3. It was a counting book that only went to 10. He kept going past 10 trying to be a goof like his dad would. I piped up, thinking I'd get him to quit going past ten and said "I'll give you ten bucks if you can count to 100 without messing up." 1,2,3,4....When he got to 89...90 I knew I was duped. It was like he set me up. He finished to 100 and said "Where's my 10 bucks". Ooops. I didn't know my 6 year old could count that high. It was a lesson learned for the ole dad.

Congratulations! You may have to rename your blog, "Empty Pockets"! Oh the pain of those lessons learned.
