Bobby B: Oh my mom has a special reason for that.. M. shrugged her shoulders and wondered. (minutes later) Mother comes in to pick up Bobby B. Curiosity was knawing at M. by now had to go ask Bobby B's mom... I have to ask..what is the special reason Bobby B has safety pins on each shoelace??? Mom asked, "what?" M. repeated...Why does Bobby B have safety pins on his shoelaces?? He said you have a special reason... Mom looked at Bobby and said, "Bobby?? he shrugged his shoulders and grinned as if to expect everyone to understand his quirkiness(no taller than my waist line he is..)

M reached in Bobby B.'s pocket and pulled out fine shredded pieces of paper ...like a bird nest. Under ripped shreds of paper were a hand full of safety pins... Mom watched as M. pulled them out of Bobby B's pocket .. Mom's mouth hanging open in disbelief I was notified after watching from across the room. Mom took Bobby by the hand and said...well now Bobby you know that piggy bank you have sitting on top of your dresser at home...

He asked,"yes Mommy where are we going in such excitement".... well she said you are going to take every bit of that money and you are going to pay Ms. C for all the safety pins you took from the cabinet You could have heard his piggy bank pennies drop as his little heart went through the floor.

I slowly backed away and felt his pain... "NO NOT THE MONEY!!" he screamed... Mom said, well that is what Ms. C would have to pay for those safety pins that you planned on keeping. So we will just pay her for them, how about that??? "A bouncing Nooooooooooooooooooooo!" as he went out the door after a hug of forgiveness from me.
