“Mom, I don’t get why you’re so mad. It’s only considered bribery when you
do it to the government. Then it’s illegal and you can get thrown in jail, I get that part. But, there’s nothing wrong with offering your brother and sister a little walking-around-cash from time to time, if you know what I mean. That’s perfectly legal. Now, how about another glass of chocolate milk?”

It’s all very vague at this point, but several boxes of Girl Scout cookies and a 8-pack of blue Gatorade have gone missing.

Orange is my favorite. Blue stains and then I walk around looking like a dead person all day and, quite frankly, that look doesn’t work for me.

Payment for services rendered. Mutually beneficial. Where is the line between payment and bribery? Food for thought and a lawyer in the making.

Good Lord, I hope not! Plus, he doesn’t have a Chicago accent. Jay speaks with a Boston accent, which is strange because he’s never even been near the state of Massachusetts.

It’s usually Jay. Plus, the older two have demanded that I get their approval before I post anything about them. Thankfully, Jay couldn’t care less.

I’m beginning to think he already has connections. I’m not sure where this whole “walking-around-money” thing came from.

My son Joe handed his friend Sam a $20 in church, as a ‘thank you’ for being his friend. Thankfully, Sam’s parents asked Sam where he got the money, and Sam told them the story. Sadly, Sam had to return the money, and we had to enlighten Joe that you pay your friends when you are NOT in church. Kidding. We just told him to pay his friends $5 going forward. Ha. Kidding again.

That’s hilarious! If I wasn’t always stocked with wine, I doubt I’d have any friends. 😉
