EMERGENCY

Braxton has become quite the coin collector.  EVERY time he finds a coin, he immediately wants to deposit that coin in his piggy bank.  (I am going to go out on a limb and peg him as the family saver)  The other day, we needed cash...fast...and we borrowed some from one of the boys. (The money HAS been replaced)  I couldn't get the rubber peg in the right way and I figured that I would fix it...eventually.  Braxton noticed. He found some money and ran up stairs to proudly put it in his bank.

Braxton: MOM, there is an EMERGENCY!

I thought we were headed to the ER. I mean these are the words that keep me up at night.

ME:  What is the matter Braxton?

Braxton:  There is a hole in my piggy bank!

Me: Oh thank God!

I learned two things: 1) Braxton now knows the word emergency and knows how to use it in context. 2) If I am going to borrow money from my kids, I need to cover my tracks a little better.
