The Nickel

There was a small child he found 2 coins while playing outside one day. He excitedly came home to show his mother. He said Mommy! Mommy look I found 2 sliver coins!

The mother replied awesome come here and let me see what you have found! The son placed the nickel and the quarter in his mothers hand!

She said Oh very nice which one do you think is worth more?
The little boy thinks for a second and says the nickel.

The mother says.....aww hunny that is cute but you have to learn about money! It's too small and not worth as much for its only 5 cents and this big one is 25 cents.

She said she was proud of him for asking.... sent him on the way with his finding and told him to place them in his piggy bank.....So he did still the nickel being his favorite!

Several months later..........there was a newscast and a desperate plea from a desperate numismatics (coin collector)
stating he had lost a very rare nickel between and made mention of the woman and sons home address where her little boy had just found the nickel and the quarter.......He left detail and reward of 25000 to where he can be reached

Excitedly the mother ran into the little boys room and asked him if he still had the quarter and nickel she told him to put in his piggy bank...... He told her he had only 1 of the 2 left! He needed a few pieces of candy from the penny candy store so he used one.....Angerly the mother scoffed....*** i told you to put that nickel in the piggy bank.

Confused the boy looked at his mother walked over to his piggy bank and said yes.....Mommy of course I did here it is........
She was very confused and her frown now in quite joy at her sons young mistake.....

She said thank God my son you know nothing about money.....what made you use the bigger coin when you only bought 5 pieces of candy.....The youngster said well Mommy a couple of reasons the nickel was still my favorite even though it was worth less 2nd I knew if i bought 5 pieces of penny candy with a quarter they would give me back 4 nickles if i asked sooooo... why mommy what's wrong??????

Hey*** guys good morning!!! Its me Michelle if you made it this far into the story thank you .....for reading i wrote this myself.....:)
Many morals can be taken away from this my favorite and of course you can conclude anything in positivity you wish......is this

Sometimes the eyes of the innocent,đź‘‘ uneducated reap the greatest of lesson and reward!

Have a Blessed Day
The government just called me
Actually the government told the police to call me
to be more specific
we all know how when referring to authorities
it is extremely important to be clear
detailed
and concise
because of how extremely uneducated they are
and also insecure
but anyways
as polite as the officer be
asked me,
encouraged me,
I guess threatened me,
If I really think it through
Officer says,
“Sir…Mr. Gregory.”
“Yes.” I say
“We…well the government of the United States of the America. Is willing to…wants to give you a certain amount of funding. Well, money. To stop being anti-racist.”
“Oh really?” I say
“Umm…yes. You see. We. Meaning the associates of the government…”
“The associates of white supremacy.”
I interjected
“Right. Yes. Well you know that. Well thats exactly it Mr. Gregory. We have been doing just fine without other people or too many of them know that. We the government and its associates…”
“Whiteness is a mental illness” I interrupted again.
“Yes. Yes. Okay. So yeah. We are offering you…roughly…25000 a month. To only do things…well…not anti-racist. Its part of the affirmative action project.”
I signed it right then and there
