Practical Joke

My Dad played a great practical joke on Jacob tonight. Here's a little background first...we see my grandparents at least twice a week. Each time we see them my grandfather puts $5 in his shirt pocket for Jacob to "find". Last year, my Dad started giving Jacob $5 on Friday if he had done well in school that week...good grades, not getting his name on the board, etc. He even gives him an extra $1 for each green card he receives. Well, for some reason Jacob has started checking Dad's shirt pocket every day. I guess he thinks if my grandfather gives him $5 every time he sees him then Dad will too...keep in mind though that Dad sees Jacob every single day.

Anyway, back to the practical joke. Tonight Jacob walks over to Dad and reaches in his shirt pocket...he pulls out a scrap of paper that says "Why are you checking my pocket??? It isn't Friday and there is no money in here!" The look that went across Jacob's face was hilarious! Mom, Dad and I laughed so hard we almost fell out of our chairs! Sad thing is...I bet Jacob checks Dad's pocket again tomorrow night!
