I’ll Give You My Two Cents, And 98 More!  

(I am in my early teens. I am at the mall with my family and my mom and I are in the dollar store looking around. I see an item I want and bring it to her.)

Me: “Mom, I want this, but I don’t know how much it is.”

(She turns and looks at me.)

Mom: “Where are we?”

Me: “The mall.”

Mom: “What store?”

Me: “The dollar store…”

(She stares at me.)

Me: “Oh!”
