59 Whole Cents

There are two things you need to know to understand the humor of this post.

The first is that Emily and I have a tradition of writing messages to each other on her white board each night. She leaves a comment or question and I respond before tucking her in. I love this tradition.

The second is that we are trying to save money to go to Disney World in January. Kelly and I hope to run The Goofy (a half marathon on Saturday and a full marathon on Sunday) (yes, I have lost all sanity) and we want our whole family to be able to go. The price tag is steep, so we proposed the trip to our children and the ways we need them to contribute if this is going to be possible.

Here is a picture of Emily's white board on the night of this conversation:
