If you’ve been reading this blog for a while you know that my family is very close and more than a little strange. Another thing about them is that they, like so many families, love being able to tease about really dumb things we’ve done. I seem to have a real penchant for doing dumb things and my family loves to tell me, “You’ll never live it down!” Why the picture of the dime? Read on and I’ll explain.
The whole embarrassing story is here
If I had been sitting there in your seat and that had been my first time hearing that, I would have thought and done the same. But I had heard the phrase the first time under different conditions so… lol when you said he hollered that I knew where your story was going.
I can only imagine what the guy trying to sell you the dime must have thought. Like what was he going to do with the loose change? It gets heavy in the pocket after a while and makes noise, etc. lol As a waitress I always hated it when someone tipped with a HUGE wad of change because then I was stuck carrying it for the night and if I traded it in at the register the cashier got mad because she had to count it all out at closing, but it happens. So yea, I’m thinking you “made someone’s day” doing that. 😛 And he couldn’t give it back to you and explain himself because the cops were right behind you! How awesome was that?

LOL He probably thought, “I love dumb old ladies! They have the most loose change!”

OMG I just thought this one: Probably thought you saved his life because he had the munchies and now he could hit up the nearest vending machine with exact change. LOL He probably got the mother load of goodies that day.

I would’ve never known what “just a dime” meant! It’s a beautiful quality to assume the best about people. I get teased in my family for my naivety too.

My son reassured me that he’d have been worried if I’d known. But that doesn’t stop him from teasing me about it!

Wow you were so innocent to not know that. I am wondering what a great laugh those policemen would have had after you left.
What would that old man had done with your dimes???
Greta post and surely a great family.
May Peace and love be with you always. 😊
