My allowance


Every week, Jamai and Terrel get a dollar each for their allowance. They earn this sum for the jobs they each have around the house.  This evening, Jamai walks up to me and hands me these 2 quarters. I asked him what were these, and with a straight face, he says to me "You earned these for doing such a great job as our Popi, and for taking such good care of us."

Did I take the quarters? Damn right, and said Thank you very much!

Nana calls Terrel Monkey Boy since he loves to climb all over everything, including Popi, as you can see!
