It's like the mastercard commercial...
Priceless.
Good job, mom.
In Japan, if someone drops their purse off their bike, people hang it on the closest telephone pole. And the next day, they can find it with all the money still in it. I lost my wallet once, and returned to the cafe and got it back.
Thanks for sharing this story. I love hearing things like this. If only everyone....

Well, I did a good deed tonight. (cue the angelic choir music please)
The twins and I were out grocery shopping this evening, and I spotted a bunch of money folded up on the floor near the frozen foods. I picked it up and discovered over $60 in there. No one was near by to ask if it belonged to them, so I told the girls we had to go to customer service and turn it in.
They wanted to know why we couldn't keep it. I asked, "What if it was your money and you lost it, wouldn't you want some one to turn it in for you?" They both said yes, so off we went.
The lady at the desk took my name and home number, then said if no one claimed it within 30 days, they'd call me and it was mine to keep. Hmmmm, cool.
Before I even left the store, my cell phone (well, technically it's Ruben's) rang signaling I had a message waiting for me on our home voicemail. It was from the lady who'd lost the money!
She got my name and number from the store because she wanted to call and thank me for turning it in. She said, "You don't know what kind of year we've had and this just means so much. Thank you and God bless you."
I let the kids hear the message so they could understand first hand why it was so important to turn that money in. You never know who desperately would miss it.
Too bad, it would have been nice to have kept it. I could have used it for Vegas next month!
Just kidding! lol Hearing that lady's message, and the sound of her voice when she was thanking me, it was like she really couldn't believe someone had turned it in.
That was really cool, and made me like a million bucks.
So there. I did my good deed for the year. Can I go back to normal now?
Night ladies! Talk to y'all tomorrow.
