Played a little joke on DS

[Tiggerkeeper]

My 19 yo DS wrote home from Marine boot camp this week that he needed $20 (he is in a medical rehab unit healing a fractured wrist). Now this fella is employed by Uncle Sam and gets a paycheck...granted they aren't allowed to use much of it that's the rule, so why does he want MY money?

Well, being his mother I felt obligated to send it so....I sent a $20 bill from the Monopoly game!! Sooooo bad! I figured playing a joke on him would make him laugh!

But I also sent a St. Patrick's card with a crisp $20 bill in a different envelope, of course!

So what do you think, am I a baaaaaad mommie??

I am going to have to remember this- You sound like a lot of fun!-and even as an E1 marnie boot-the government is giving him food and housing-makes you wonder if he is spending his pay on wine women and song doesn't it Mom
