I received an email from my mom yesterday, entitled “Thief!” Thinking she had seen my post of the same name, I figured she was just commenting on the post.
However, much to my chagrin, she was providing more information on Gramps’ newfound illicit lifestyle.
In the last couple weeks, Gramps has been pulling half dollars out of his pockets. My mother couldn’t figure out where he was finding him, but since he has quite an extensive coin collection, she figured he had a secret stash some where and didn’t think much of it.
However, my mom came home yesterday afternoon to find Gramps digging through a jar of coins in HER closet and removing all the half dollars and putting them in his pocket.
