The Ladybug

I was looking all over the house for the money I had to pay the babysitter from last night.
I asked Bella if she had seen it, she replied,
"Oh, it's in my piggy bank."
I walked into the kitchen where she has decided that the piggy bank will resides
~ I guess for convenience sake~
~you know easy access when you find a dime in the couch cushion~
only to find over 30 dollars in the ladybug piggy bank.
If my father-in-law were reading this right now,
which I know he is not because he is not fond of computers,
he would be kindly thinking ' you dipstick, leaving cash just laying around the house'.
That is what he calls me in jest when I lose things because of my own irresponsibility.
I do have to admit I have a bad habit of not keeping up with
keys, cash, credit cards, debit cards, licenses, and my tweezers.
Some might be thinking why don't you get a purse.
My answer is I don't like carrying a purse. Never have.
I don't like anything constricting.
Needless to say, I decided to leave the money in her
bank except for the money I needed to pay the babysitter.
She told me she was saving up for a Big Red.

Oh my gosh. I laughed so loud. And now I am picturing Bella with a keg of Big Red and all her change collecting buddies from school laughing about their accomplishments.
