Gee, thanks.

Colby found a Transformer - why he needs more is beyond me - at Walmart last night. He HAS to have it. It costs $5 and that is exactly the amount of money he has hidden somewhere in his room at home. So fine, I buy the toy and tell him when we get home he needs to get his money and pay me for it. We get home and he rounds up what he can find, but his room is such a mine field that he can't find it all. So the Repo Man keeps the toy until he can come up with the rest of the hidden money. He is able to finally locate it all and brings it to me. A bag of pennies mostly. Swell. I tell him to count it and lay it in piles of $1's. This is how I was paid. I'll take the bills, but have half a mind to tell him to keep his stupid pennies if I didn't believe he would use them to "buy" something else again and would try to pawn them off on me yet again.

I should mention that one of the dollar bills came from Corey earlier that day. We were at a store and Colby found a Texas Longhorn shirt that he really liked, thought it was cool and it was on clearance. I had already told him he could grab a couple shirts and this was one of them. The Longhorns are at the top of the Most Hated List in Corey's world and he is NOT happy about the shirt. I tell him to get over it and stop trying to influence his son on which team he can like or dislike (in a friendly-type manner). I fully intend on buying the shirt because I think the whole thing is silly. We get up to the cash register and Corey tells Colby he will give him $1 if he puts the shirt back. My greedy little monkey had that shirt back on the rack and his brand new dollar bill tightly in his fist in no time at all.
