Spare Change?

Mo is really into money.

He sleeps with his wallet. He hustles anyone that will listen. He works hard to earn an allowance.

Lately he’s been collecting change. I was FLOORED when I saw how much the quarters, nickels, dimes, and pennies added up to.

Parents, you better start checking your sofa cushions. It all adds up!

Note the empty apple juice containers on the floor. Those are Mo’s banks.

YES! $644.47! I’m taking Mo to Vegas!!!!!!
