Debbie found $20 in the laundry tonight and asked me if I was missing any money. She said Katie Rose, who just babysat last night, said it wasn’t hers. Without me having to say much, Katie Rose then proceeded to make the case that it was mine rather than Debbie’s.<\/p>\n
First, Katie Rose asked whose laundry it was in–the kids’ or the parents’–and Debbie said, “Mine and Daddy’s.” Then Katie Rose started looking through the laundry basket and pointed out that Debbie only had one pair of shorts with pockets, and I had a lot. Thus, it was probably mine. Debbie said, smilingly, Katie Rose didn’t know what she was talking about and should go away. Katie Rose said she was just trying to be “reasonable” in figuring out whose money it was. Debbie told her to go practice her trombone, and I said she had a good point. Furthermore, I said, the shorts were Debbie’s yard work shorts, and thus unlikely to have any cash stuffed in the pocket. For that matter, did Debbie often stick cash in her pocket? Debbie said, “Sure, sometimes!” Katie Rose objectively pointed out that Debbie usually put money in her pocketbook. Debbie told her to be quiet.<\/p>\n
