Once upon a time (last week)
I went to a parade in a faraway land! (just down the street actually)
There were bands,
Babies …
Burglars …
And more … And somewhere in there I managed to score.
For a $10 bill, I shot up like a hurdler … I jumped off the sidewalk and …
… Hugged the Hamburglar!
He was squishy and scared. Just look at his face. He started to run … like it was a race.
The parade wound down,
With coppers and crowds,
Next year they’ll be back, but I won’t be allowed.
And they all lived happily ever after.
The end.
(Yeah. There’s very little I won’t do for a buck. Actually, there’s very little I won’t do for a ham sandwich.)
Oh … and inferring I almost got arrested may have been a bit of an exaggeration. I embarrassed my mother though. That ought to count for something.

I’d hug you for a twenty. And your mother for free.

I always look forward to the parade, it seems to get bigger and bigger every year. Great pics Karen! P.S. Estelle is such a cutie!

That was GREAT! I was sitting here getting grumpy and that made me smile. Happy $10!

You didn’t mug the burglar to get the tenner did ya? LOL
sera
the question is, did they ticket you? or just kick you out of all future parades?

True story. When I was 14 I found $100 floating in the ocean. In Australia our bills are plastic which is awesome because they don’t get ruined in the wash or…ocean.
I took my friends out for lunch with it & had change left over (ahhh the good old days)
It is still the greatest day of my life. I am not even sure my boyfriend proposing 2 days ago tops that day.

Gasp! Congratulations. On both the $100 and the proposal! (even though technically speaking you’re not supposed to congratulate the bride … only the groom). Good job on cuttin’ one from the herd.
