Chump Change

This year's vacation took us back to North Carolina just over the Georgia border. This is our regular vacation destination since the grandparents and my sister's family lives up here.

Fr. Pecchie was on vacation this year with us and he had been giving the little ones extra change from his pocket. From that point on the only question the kids wanted an answer to was "When are we going to the store?"

Therese happend to get a "Georgia" quarter in her mix of change. As Betty and Brianna drove them to the long awaited spending zone in Murphy, NC.

During the ride Lisette kept asking Brianna "Where is Murphy?"

"It's down the road about 20 minutes from here" answered Brianna.

Lisette kept asking "No where is Murphy?", Brianna continued to respond "down the road".

Lisette then clearified the question "Is Murphy in North Carolina or Georgia?"

"North Caroline" responded Brianna.

"Darn Therese" Lisette exclaimed "you won't be able to use that Georgia quarter at the Walmart in Murphy!"
