TOKENS
WHEN MY KIDS WERE YOUNG MY PARENTS HAD A DAIRY QUEEN AND MY DAD WOULD SAVE ALL THE .50 CENT PIECES IN A FLOGERS COFFEE CAN.
IN THE SUMMER WHEN ALL SIX OF THE GRANDCHILDREN CAME TO VISIT HE’D HAND THEM THE CAN AND THE YOUNG KIDS CALLED THEM TOKENS. TOKENS FOR ICE CREAM, TOKENS FOR THE WATER PARK IN THE DELLS, TOKENS, TOKENS, TOKENS.
WHEN WE ALL GOT TOGETHER LAST WEEK, UNCLE NEIL HAD SET UP A COFFEE CAN HALF FULL OF .50 CENT PIECES. WHEN WE WALKED IN, HE SHOOK AND PRESENTED THE CAN HALF FULL OF TOKENS.
NEIL’S TRICK BROUGHT A SMILE AND LAUGH TO EVERYONES FACE, WHO FONDLY REMEMBER THE TOKEN DAZE OF SUMMER.
NICE JOB UNCLE NEIL, BUT I’M NOT SO SURE THE BARTENDER WAS TOO THRILLED ABOUT $300 IN TOKENS TO PAY OUR BAR TAB.
