Two Dollar Bill Story

From the Youngest Daughter :)

You all must know how I love to spend two dollar bills, right? Well a while ago when I posted about it, I told you I would tell you if I got any more funny reactions from people when I used a two. Well recently I did get a good reaction! It was when I was buying Yertle. :)

Here's what happened:

            I brought the turtle lamp to the lady in charge of the yard sale and dug in my duct tape wallet. The turtle was three dollars, so I pulled out a one dollar bill and a two dollar bill. I handed them to her. She held them in her left hand and fanned them out with her right, examining them as if there was a bill missing. After all, how could two bills equal three dollars? She glanced up at me, and back at her hands. She hadn’t noticed … yet. She took one more confused look and then light bulb! She noticed the two.

            “Oh!” she said in surprise. Then she started gabbling, “It’s a two! Well, I thought it was a five, I thought you had given me six dollars, but it’s a two … we haven’t had one of those yet today!”

I suppressed a snicker as I thanked her and left to join my sis. My sister had heard the whole thing.

            “You're a stinker!” she said once we were out of earshot. We both tried to suppress our laughs, but ended up snorting.

          

It was an awesome way to buy a ridiculous lamp. :)
