A shoe full of money! (Sort of)

When you have kids, you get used to certain things - stepping on Legos left on the floor, finding the memory card on my camera filled with pictures of random household items, or a cookie left under a pillow (in case the tooth fairy decided to stop by and was hungry). You expect to find things out of place, for a reason that would only make sense to a child.

This morning, though, I was not expecting to find 42 Chuck E. Cheese tokens in my shoe. When I asked Grace, the discussion went like this:

Me: "Gracie, did you, by any chance, fill my shoe with Chuck E. Cheese tokens?"
Silence...

Grace: "Can you ask me if a stranger came in our house and put them in your shoes?"

Me: "Hmm...why?"

Grace: "Because then I can say "no" and I will be telling the truth."
