Of Unicylces, and Highchairs!!

Daniel, our most adventurous child, who has climbed everything from fences to buildings, has recently taken an interest in mastering the unicycle. He spent much time researching unicycles and the cost, and discovered that they start at about $100.

So, you can imagine our great surprise, when we stopped by a local Salvation Army, to donate some items, and lo and behold, there in the lot sat a unicycle!! (It had just arrived that morning.) Daniel and I got out to check the price. It was only $35 dollars! A great deal!!! With a quick call to Daddy, we obtained the needed permission, for the purchase. We noticed, on the door, a coupon for 50% off! We excitedly asked the employee if there were anymore coupons inside. He cheerfully assured us there were. We quickly stepped inside, and there, was the wooden highchair I had been wanting!!

With the two desired items, we headed to the checkout, with the coupons, a few feet away. Closer examination of the flyer revealed a "Buy one, get one free!' coupon as well! Now we were really excited!!! My strong boys, loaded the unicycle and highchair in the car, and then we were off, in the van. Contentedly headed for home, eager to use our treasured items, totalling only...............$40!

Good job, Danny!!!
