Strange things happen at my house. I have a coin jar that like many of you is for spare change.
I feed this jar daily. Quarters, nickels, dimes, pennies and yeph occasionally I have a dollar bill or two i put in the jar.
I have this jar sitting by my computer desk. Every day I look at it and yeph im sure the money is evaporating. " Weird you say money don't evaporate!"
Well it does at my house. I have noticed this strange phenomenom for amost 5 months.
Now mind you I have two 17 year old kids. But they dont take it......or so they say.
I do have a dog but she doesnt seem to leave the house long enough to be spending it anywhere. Hmmmm maybe she takes it and buries it. Thats a thought.
I am almost to the point of refusing to put more money in the jar.
Now mind you I mentioned I have two kids.....well guess what their change jars never seem to stay full either.
Where could this money be going....????
It couldnt be that every time i turn around their is a need for lunch money, or sodas at school for the kids.
Or that this cold crazy winter is determining that my cars need to be washed every other day.
Or the fact that nothing in this world is for free.
Just typing this is probably going to take money out of my jar......cable bill fairies must be coming once a month an taking money out of the jar.....
Im sure you all have strange occurances like this in your house......
But just once I would like to see the jar get filled before it evaporates.......
But im sure with our new soon to be president .........he has a plan to help all of us keep those change jars from evaporating money....maybe i should email him just to make sure.
So next time you look at your coin jar.....remember the evaporating aliens may have struck...
None of us are immune to this occurance......it just happen more often to some then others....
So if you think Im crazy for writing this take a second and think when was the last time your money disappeared and you had nothing to show for it...........
Money is EVAPORATING at my house.

OLP76 Your money jar - why don't you put some duck tape around it, so they can't open it up and take the money out of there. and only make a slit big enough for the money to go in...But, mind you they can always shake to get the coins out. But, best of luck
vicamillinois Thanks I will keep that in mind.... damn money fairies cant constantly be out smarting me..lol
pixiedoodle How funny! My husband loves to save his change but it also evaporates. I got him an old fashioned piggy bank that you can't open til it's full and you have to open it by cutting a hole in the bottom. I never have a shred of cash because every morning I get the list of the "I needs" for the day, on top of it my husband lost his ATM card so he has mine. I refuse to charge lunch....it really sucks because some days I would just like a little cheeseburger or some food, any food.... You know, kids really do suck- I should have raised sheep ;-)!
