Penny War

For 1 week in December, at Beau's school they have a penny war. Each class has a jar where the students can bring in loose change to help out needy families in the area. Last year they earned a lot of money from just change. You can also bomb other classes by putting nickels, quarters, or dimes in there jars. The pennies and dollar bills are a plus for your class, they silver is not. At the end of all this, the class with the most gets a small trophy to keep in there class for the year.

Now that I've explained this all to you, I can tell you the funny part. Tobias's dad, Grandpa Mike collects his change in jars, after telling them about the penny war, Grandma Marsha gave Beau a bag of pennies. The next morning I counted them, while Beau got ready for school. There was a total of $2.00 dollars = 200 pennies. When I told Beau that there was 200 pennies, he got this sad look on his face. I said, "what's wrong?" In this sweet voice he said, "I took ALL of Grandpa's savings!" All I could do was laugh! I reminded him that even though 200 was a lot, when it came to pennies, it was only 2 dollars. His response was, but 2 dollars is a lot of money. Bless his heart!
