Can't Buy Me Love...

The other day I received a call from a parent of a girl in Mason's class. He left a message asking that I call him back. Before calling back I asked Mason if he knew why her father was calling. He thought a minute and said, "I don't know...maybe because I gave her some fake money." "Fake money? What fake money?" I asked. He says, "You know that fake 100 dollar bill that was on the table? I took it to school and gave it to her" Then I remembered that the night before I'd emptied my purse of a couple of Christmas gift envelopes..."Honey, that wasn't a fake bill, that was REAL!" So I call the girl's father back and he says, "It was a really sweet gesture on Mason's part, but we can't let her accept the gift." Whew! My son just skips the sweet nothings and valentines and just gives the girl cold hard cash.
