The Barter System ... Can I Pay With Dinosaurs?

Toddlers! Never leave your bag/purse unattended. We take a mommy and me trip to Target. Normally a trip to Target turns into a 2 - 3 hour affair but not today. I am focused and only have one small item in my shopping cart along with my toddler of course. Lately he's decided to sit or even lay down in the actual basket verses sitting in the upper seat where children belong. Anyhow, we get to the checkout line. I'm so proud of myself because I've only been in Target for 10 mins, Ha, unheard of. The item rang up $2.19, this has got to be a record, I have never left this store without spending $50. I open my bag and my wallet is not in there nor are many of my other personal items...sunglasses, lip gloss, kleenex. WTH?!? But there are plenty of dinosaurs for some odd reason as I pull them out looking for money to pay the cashier. While my son is smiling as he names each dinosaur, I simply say. "Can I pay with dinosaurs, because that's all I seem to have?!" Everyone in the line behind is now cracking up including the cashier. So I start searching through all of my pockets. Luckily I'm wearing the jeans from last weekend's ice skating birthday party so I managed to find $5 (3 - $1 and $2 in change), kleenex, a fruit snack. Whew, that was close! Ha, now I need to get us home asap considering I have no wallet, meaning no license to drive...(screaming in my head).  Chat Me Back
