26. Well not that this scared me

or anything, but it did make the summertimes very....interesting.

One day my daughter wanted something from the Ding Dong cart. I didn't have any money on me and told her no, then went about my business.

A few minutes later she comes in the house in tears.

What happened? I ask.

That's when she shows me the "money" she tried to use to buy ice cream from the Ding Dong man.

My husband at the time had an assortment of...well....risque fake dollar bills in his dresser. Apparently the kids had been snooping, and my daughter knew just where to find them.

So yeah...she tried to buy a popsicle with, ironically enough, a "dollar" showing a woman giving a bj to a guy.

So if I was outside when the Ding Dong cart came around, I would migrate away from my own kids.
