Just what every little guy wants for his b-day ……..a coin purse.
Reminds me of the old joke
The little boy comes home from school and tells his mother."Ma, they called me a sissy today.The mother says, It’s ok honey, just hit em with your purse.
A penny found on the ground with Lincoln’s head up means good luck if you pick it up. A penny on the ground with his monument up means bad luck if you pick it up. I picked up a penny once with the monument facing up. I won’t do that again. In Timmy’s case a “penny saved” is not a Penny earned. lol
I feel for the kid. I remember going to relatives houses when I was his age thinking they were all fools. Some of them would have done that very same thing. So glad I moved far, far away when I turned 18.
Hah! I wonder if the coin purse is the tacky kind with a closing snap like a woman’s purse, or the round, rubber/vinyl sort that you squeeze to make it open up into halves. Either way, poor Timmy loses. The gift is tacky, and the penny inside thoughtless. And, if he is forced to use it at school, he will be picked on or perhaps beat up by bullies.

If it weren’t for bad luck, I wouldn’t have no luck at all.

Actually, a penny is given for luck. But a Penny is really unlucky. And we all know how unlucky poor Timmy is. Strangely, good advice from Burl.

Way to disappoint a small child! Timmy is going to have one great whacking therapist bill some day.

I feel sad that Susan did not comment today. I am concerned that she feels hurt by B.A. Bay’s comment back to her concerning her apology.
