Although it appears Jake got $3.00 in his Easter card.... he really didn't. :) Mame & Papa Jim are always so sweet to send the kids holiday cards and a nice little surprise for their piggy banks. For obvious reasons, the kids ALWAYS get the exact same thing from them. So, on to why it appears Jake got $3.00 from them... Well, I always forget that Sonic doesn't let you put a tip on your debit card and when I reached for my purse I saw the mail I had just gotten out of the mailbox. And there was 2 purple envelopes on top. One for each kiddo and they were from Mame and Papa Jim. I quickly grabbed Jake's envelope and discreetly opened it and paid for our food with his $10.00. I had every intention of putting another $10.00 bill in there and taping it up.... but by the time we got home I forgot and then the kids were in bed. The next day Mame called and asked if they got their cards.... I couldn't tell her right then what had happened since the kids were standing there. I looked in my purse and all I had was $8.00, so I put that in Jake's card and taped it up. Since he just turned 4 yrs old, I didn't think he would realize it wasn't the same amount as Jared's. The kids opened their cards and Jared started screaming, "I got $10.00... WHOO HOO!!!"
UGH!! That is all I have to say....
Jake said, "I got $10.00 too!! YEAH!!" Jared looked over and said, "No you didn't... You got $8.00." And then Jared got the look from me.... He got quiet real quick!! Before I knew it the kids were on the phone thanking Mame & Papa. Jake told Mame, "Thank you so much for my $8.00" Mame said, "Well Jake you should have $10.00" He kept saying, "No Mame I just have 8" It was so funny because he knew he was right and he was.... So I told mom what happened and we got a big laugh out of it. :)
Jake
Jared
He can hardly wait....
So happy!!!
