I about DIED laughing today
My oldest nephew is only NINE years old and he's already a penny pinching tight wad! He will NOT spend a dime of his own money! He has not spent a dime of any of the money he's gotten from people for his birthday,Christmas or what the Tooth Fairy has given him! Last time I asked him he told me he had two hundred and forty dollars in his box at home!
Well the other day was his birthday,turned out a gift my mom got him didn't work at all.She took it back and got her money back for it.Than my mom...who had the two twenty dollar bills in her hand asked this "Do you want me to take this money and get you another gift? Or do you want to take the money...."
She didn't even get the words out of her mouth before my nephew snatched the two twenties out of her hand and said "I'll just take the MONEY!!" and he than ran off sticking the money into his pocket!
I called my sister and asked what did he do with the money and she told me "The same thing he always does with his money! Put it in his box and hidding it!"
I once took him to a store and he had his own money with him...unknown to me he had one hundred and forty dollars on him...hell that was more than what I had on me! Anyway he was supposed to use his own money to buy a toy.He picked out this rather large toy that cost fifty bucks.He asked me "Will I still have a hundred dollars in my wallet after I pay for it?" When I told him no...that he'd have under a hundred dollars after buying it...he looked at the thing for a second,put it back on the shelf and than said "....no that's okay...I don't want it that bad!" and than walked off to find a cheaper toy
