The Thirst Quencher

Not sure if I shared this with anybody already. But A few weeks ago I started charging the kids 50 cents every time I find a half full gatorade or soda laying around. I got tired of wasting so many drinks, because like most normal kids they seem to like the idea of opening a drink, taking a sip or two and sitting it down and that is all she wrote. We have one of those 16 oz. red plastic cups that is all of a sudden filled with funds. Almost forgot to mention that the cup is also a swear jar. When Mommy or Daddy get caught saying a bad word, they have to throw in half a buck. My lovely wife still has a pocket full of change! I can not say the same, as this heat makes me very irritable and I am often caught letting out a few cuss words. Sometimes I wake up on a Saturday morning and start the day off with a cup of coffee and then I throw a buck in the jar. One has got to his limitations! The funny thing is that when I do find a full drink laying around. It is usually good for a buck in the cup- 50 cents from one of the kids and 50 from me when I say- Who the hell is wasting drinks again? I'm tired of this shit!!! ( I get a 2 for one deal!)

Later gator
