All for a Dollar

Beetle will do almost anything for a buck. I first learned this in our 8th grade cooking class when I watched him drink a whole bottle of peppermint extract all because some boys said they would give him a dollar or two if he did it. And he did.
The other day he was driving our van near state street and he started yelling "A DOLLAR, I SEE A DOLLAR- I'M GETTIN IT!" he immediately pulled over and slammed on the breaks, and he was out the door-gone. Cars were zooming by us, the kids were like,"Where did Dad go?"

See the guy in the blue shirt?- There's DAD!

Notice the empty hands? No Dollar. I didn't believe him when he said some guy beat him to it, but some guy really did. I am just amazed that he noticed a dollar floating around on such a busy street. This story would have been much better had he actually brought back a dollar or maybe even a hundred $'s! Notice the bank on the right? We should drive this street more frequently, maybe we will get lucky!

That is a total Beetle story. I hope he never loses the little kid in him. I kind of think he never will.
