Little Piggy

Since my husband has retired, he thinks that every day is a weekend. He has not yet realized that he has to eat dinner at home. Every afternoon he looks at me with puppy dog eyes and asks if we can go out for dinner. Almost every night I say no. Eating out costs money and it adds up. We had pizza last night and to me, that was his eating out night. He decided that he wanted to eat at Chipotle's tonight and I said no way. I am not a millionaire with an unlimited food budget. About an hour later, I heard a clinking sound and I went upstairs to see where it was coming from. I walked into the bedroom and saw a 63 year old man shaking pennies out of a piggy bank. He filled a Ziploc bag with his bounty and plans to go to the coin machine and cash it in today. He wanted to know that if the money totals $17, can we please eat out. I turned my back and walked away.
