Sorry, you are right. Sometimes a piggy bank is just a piggy bank. :lol: Good luck with the move. I know how awful they can be!!

YEAH! What you said. And, yeah, Mike Silence was right and wrong, sorta. Yes, it was a great little story and no it wasn't an over-analysis. The Missus was right on time. The little one's need a tactile foundation, piggy banks or teddy bears, whatever. Think about it this way. You're moving and your wife did you a favor and packed your wallet and tax returns and bank account data into one of those many boxes. (What the ...!?) Would you be happy? Whatcha bet Mom knows precisely where her purse is. It's a cinch that the little knows where his quarters are. Good luck in the move. Two comments:

We can't give them a PIGGYbank because they go apeshit over anything porcine. I tried to give a Muslim this peace-offering: http://s41.photobucket.com/albums/e257/allahnogood/?action=view&current=oinkbar.jpg Next thing I knew, there was a fatwa against me. Well, no.

We have never had to glean meaning out of this kid, but sometimes she comes off a bit abrasive.:shock: Maybe if I taught her to say "metaphorically speaking" after these kinds of statements I wouldn't be so concerned about her being able to reach the knife drawer (metaphorically speaking, that is.).:wink: My kid looked me straight in the eye and actually said this when she was four years old, “Mommy, sometimes I want you to die so I can have Daddy all to myself.” We have never had to glean meaning out of this kid, but sometimes she comes off a bit abrasive.:shock: Maybe if I taught her to say “metaphorically speaking” after these kinds of statements I wouldn’t be so concerned about her being able to reach the knife drawer (metaphorically speaking, that is.).:wink:
