My daughters room usually stays relatively clean. Even though she keeps it picked up sometimes it needs a good deep cleaning.
On one such deep cleaning day I went into her closet and found roughly 200-300 pennies.
A little mystified I ignored it and went on about what I was doing. I lifted her mattress to vacuum any crumbs or stray dust balls and found another 100 or so pennies.
?
She comes home from school that day and I told her I cleaned her room. Eyeballing me suspiciously she dissapeared into her room. She came back out a few moments later looking PO'ed but didn't say a thing.
I couldn't help but smile and asked "Are you missing something?"
Fastforward a few days later...I caught her taking pennies out of my change jar...Not the silver, mind you.. just the pennies.
