My little girl has a rash all over her so I had to pick her up from school. Stupid school. My older daughter had the same rash and was sent home for FOUR days before thanksgiving. The doctor wouldn't even see us- it's just a viral rash they said. She was contagious before she got it they said. There is nothing you can do they said. She is fine to go to school they said. Does the school care? In a word, no. So I have my very unhappy kindergartner in the car and she begs and implores me to take her to Burger King. Only burger King and a pokemon toy will make her happy, and a chicken nugget meal with hashbrowns instead of french fries. So we get in line at the drive through. Why are there 10 cars ahead of me at 9 am? As we near the window I realize that my other children will be very upset if Molly gets a new toy and they don't- that means I need to order three meals. Then Molly reminds me that I NEED to ask if they have the Golden trading cards (coated with 22kt gold and enrobed in a special pokeball) those are 2.00 each- I will need three, do I have the money? I begin counting. I have 6.00 in quarters. Plus 50 cents I find under the seat. I find I stuffed 7.00 in singles in my visor (halleluja). I get to the window. We begin to count my money. I am 38 cents short. But wait! Some money is stuck to the bottom of the cup holder. It has been glued there by some fossil spill. Using the end of a brush I pry the coins up. They are yellow instead of silver. The guy at the window does not like the way they look. I can't blame him. They are sticky but they ARE legal tender. HAHAHAHA I have my bags. Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. We have gotten three bulbasaur (sp?)shooters. How can I tell? I am glad you asked. The shooter for the little bulbasaur is shaped like a seashell- I can feel it without opening the package. But I think, and I think- and I get an idea. I enter Burger King. "Excuse me" I say, to the very nice Hispanic man run crazy by mothers in mini vans demanding kids meals. "Can I exchange these for something without a shooter? It's just that we already have 7 bulbasaurs and my kids will be really dissapointed, maybe you could just get me a package that is light weight? Then it won't be a bulbasaur." The nice man looks at me with pity (because I am crazy? Because I am worried about disappointing my kids with little happy meal toys?). He begins to shake and squeeze the bags of Poke toys. HE finds 3 that meet my requirements. I could kiss him. But he just wants me to leave. I am sensitive to that. I wave and grovel on the way out. Such power to have and all on a minimum wage salary. WE ARE IN LUCK- we got two Raichu and a Chancy. YES, the Gods have been kind. This time.
