    I remember someone asking a four year old whether he wanted a dime or three pennies. He said he want three pennies because the made more noise when he shook his pocket.

    Reminds me of when a nephew of mine tried to pull this on his little sister.

    I should have remembered this one in the ‘Fibs your parent(s) told you as a child. When I was little we would to to the Oyster Bar in downtown Brownsville, Tx. I don’t know the name of the restaurant, but it had this sign in the streetside window just up from the front entrance, bright blue neon ‘oyster bar’. I would get fried shrimp, I LOVE fried shrimp bestest of all the fried stuff. Anyway, one time I was merrily chomping on the shrimp and french fries, and my father reached over and took a tail, said ‘you left some’, dipped it into the cocktail sauce and sucked really loudly on it. I was indignent, those were my shrimp!! I grabbed the other discarded tails on my plate and began to pick that little bit of meat out of each one. When I wouldn’t relent my mom turned to dad and said ‘Carroll.’ He claimed to be teasing. I figure maybe it was a tease, but those last bits in the tail tasted really good, and the tails off of an order almost made up 1/2 a shrimp or more depending on size. I still take the tail out of the shell…but I’m a lot better at it.

    Reminds me of teaching young students how to count coins; it’s a real steep learning curve for some of them.

    The story about the grandfather asking his young grandson which he’d rather have … a nice bright shiny dime or a dirty old dollar bill?

    The kid thought for a moment and said: “I’ll take that shiny dime, but wrap it up in that old dollar bill!”

    How about back in the day when cashiers had to figure out your change because the cash registers back then couldn’t do it. I know because I was working as a cashier when I was 15. Cashiers today have no idea how to make change, the cash registers do it for them

    I found out years after the fact that my older two were trading their baby brother nickels for dimes as the nickels are bigger they must be worth more.

    When my sister was a teen, and I was her annoying little brother… One day she was really upset about something, so I went up to her with a $5 and asked “Could you give me six ones for a five?” She got her wallet and dutifully started counting before she realized the problem!
