Finders Keepers
At least the kid still had it. At 4 years old it could have just as easy gotten eaten or thrown away or flushed. Getting put in a cash register, albeit a toy cash register is the absolute best thing he could have done. Your son should be an accountant since he’s already more responsible with money then most people I know.
I thought I lost it. But then it registered on me.
She has customers that need change!
It’s a great feeling, especially these days
It was about that time I notice that the four year old was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the protozoic era.
Did your kid pay inheritance tax on the intergenerational wealth transfer?
Ah canadian money
Wife thought she’d washed her wedding ring down the drain. Found it in my 5 year old’s jewelry box.
Looks like it gained some interest as well.
Kids gonna be pissed when she finds out somebody stole €350 from her till
I once called the police because my MacBook Pro was stolen. 6 months later I found it under my daughter’s stuffed animals. She wanted to play games, drained the battery, thought she broke it, then hid the evidence because the police were looking for the thief.
Edit: lots of understandable questions about why the police were called so adding the rest of the story. It was quite expensive and had many photos and 3d rendering work. So it was worth finding it. It was before AirTags. My sons google account was logged in to his profile but wasn’t password protected on the laptop. His google location tracking was on and we noticed the location moving in a rough area of downtown St Louis. Naturally, it made sense that the missing laptop and unexpected locations would help the police find it so we called. Officer investigated and tracked down the “thief” which turned out to be someone who bought his lost phone on Craigslist. We didn’t care about the phone at all. At that point I considered it lost forever.
Found money that you either lost or forgot about is the best money.
Bro..that’s the best hiding spot for cash. No robber is *ever* going to think to look in a kids cash register!
Our son did the exact same thing! Found $300 in his toy cash register. He also came home one day with a diamond and gold necklace a girl from school had stolen from her mom and given to him as a “friendship gift”, so I guess it could be worse. 😅
I sold a car over the weekend once for 10k in cash. I put it in my closet to deposit on Monday. The next day I took my 6 and 8 year old daughters to McDonald’s. My 8 year old whipped out a gangster roll of hundreds and said “don’t worry daddy I’m paying”.
I was having the same problem with my kid, so I bought a big stack of movie prop money online. It’s fun seeing the look on guests faces when they see a 5 year old walking around with real looking $10k in bills.
I lost a deposit for a flat (£400) when I was moving home and then found 6 months later in one of the packing boxes.
We had a gallon jug that held change when my kid was around 3. I needed cash for something and poured the entire contents on my bed to fish it out.
I started pushing coins back into the bottle when my daughter volunteered to do it for me. Thinking, “whatever floats your boat” I went into the living room and let her clean it up.
A few minutes later – much quicker than I anticipated – I heard, “aww done Mama” and she came around the corner with each step making a KACHUNK, much like the noise you’d expect from a medieval knight in full armor, the straps of her OshKosh overalls straining at her shoulders from the weight of her bulging pockets.
“Nice try, peanut!”
I believe it is pronounced tree fiddy
One of our sons at age three would go into our wallets and take out money and put it in his dresser. He thought our wallets magically created money so he just figured he would start his own private money account. Luckily, we caught on to what was going on and recovered the money after a few weeks. He’s going to college soon and his major is Business Administration with an emphasis on Finance. And he hates spending his own money, he loves saving money. His other brothers don’t save money and love spending their money and our money. Kids.
We were once stuck at home for 2 days because we couldn’t find our keys. Daughter had them in her room, at the bottom of the toy chest.
My father in law lost his wedding ring. 20 years later he found it in a baseball glove playing catch with my husband, his son. My husband wears the ring now bc my FIL grew more attached to the replacement.
When my brother was 4 years old, he cleaned up my mother’s wallet. Not to worry, he kept all the money. He only tossed the paper in the trash
You just reminded me I have $200 on PayPal. thank you.
One time my daughter’s (then 5 year old) friends parent called and asked if we are missing a diamond ring they found in her daughter’s toys.
As a friendship gift my daughter gave it to their daughter and we were looking for it over a month.
A group of co-workers met up at one of our homes for pizza and beer. The homeowner paid for the pizza on her credit card (many years ago before Venmo) and we all put money into a tray on a footstool. The next day she called and asked if I recall seeing where she put the money, I said it was on the ottoman when I left. A few hours later she called back having found teeny bits of bills under furniture, chewed up by her new Lab puppy.
Mine did something similar when she was about 3 or 4. In retrospect, the money she took from me is far less than the money she asks from me now that she’s 22.
My son, 6 at the time, took $400 to school for the book fair. He only spent $5, thankfully.
I bought my ex a Shinola ring she had been drooling over for a very long time. One day she came home in tears because she had lost it. I’m one of those people that go completely mental wanting to find a missing item and searched all day every day for a week while I was off of work. Didn’t sleep a couple of days. Just kept returning to all of the places she’d been. For the next couple of months it was always on my mind and I found myself looking at the ground most of that time. One day I was searching through the garden (again) and she came up to me, asked me what I was doing, called me very sweet but that I need to let it go. I begrudgingly agreed and decided to mow the lawn. Going over the front lawn I heard a little clink (not odd as we live in the city and stuff works it’s way out of the ground every day) and thought “wouldn’t it be funny if…” and when I turned to do my next pass there it was sat on top of the grass. I wasn’t even excited, I just felt immediately exhausted.
Confession Time I’m 60 plus year old and I admit that when my parents went on short vacation, they wanted the house cleaned before they returned. I did it, no problem. But I rehung all the art framed pictures upside down. Nobody ever noticed and they remained that way for many years. There are multiple years of Christmas photos as proof of this story, because behind the Christmas tree on the wall, are the pictures upside down, year after year. I’ve never laughed so hard in my life.
Anyway, I did that.
Just found just over $2500 in my 6 year olds room. We keep his money in my safe… so he doesn’t lose it. He made his own “safe” out of a small cardboard box… and proceeded to start taking random bills off the dresser. This has apparently been going on for just over a year and a half… he told me that since I was keeping HIS money safe… that he was keeping MY money safe since it was on the dresser out in the open…
