Alexander and the Coins

J+M+J

Our family was walking out of a Chinese restaurant today, and Alexander wanted some candy in in a dispenser that took quarters. He asked me for one of the pieces of candy and I responded, “No, Alexander. I don’t have any money.” Alexander looked around, and saw a statue that had coins on its lap and in its palm. Alexander ran and grabbed a coin and tried to put it into the place where the candy comes out. We took the coin from Alexander and put it where it belonged, at the same time getting Alexander out of the restaurant fast so he wouldn’t have time to cry. Alexander must have thought, “Are you blind? There’s a whole pile of money right in front of your eyes! Oh, well. I guess I’ll just have to do the obvious myself.”
