Twenty Cent

We ate soup with different types of beans and potatoes in it for dinner. I despise beans so I eat all of my potatoes. My mom wanted to us to hurry up and eat so we change our clothes because our aunt and cousins were coming over in an hour so we can go bowling. So she left the table with my brother Matthew because he was done to.

So it was just me and my other brother Michael. I saw that Michael ate all this beans so I asked, " Hey Michael can you eat my beans." He looks at me then looks down at his bowl and says,"No."

"I'll pay you." I say which makes his head shoot up. Works every time.

"How much?" He asks because at first I would pay him a penny. I'm cheap don't judge me.

"Three dollars." I say knowing that it would be a done deal.

"Deal." He says and we shake hands. I push my bowl over to him and watch eat the beans.

"If you eat faster I'll add fifty cents." I said which he nods to and starts eating faster.

"Michael! Go get your clothes from out of the drier!" My mom yells.

"Get my clothes out of the drier and you won't have to pay me at all." Michael says. Well that easy enough.

"Ok." I said getting up from the table to go to the basement to get to the drier but I stop when I see her coming down the hallway I turn around to go get my bowl from Michael so it looks like I have been eating the beans instead of him.

"Michael did you get your clothes from down stairs?" My mom asks.

"No." Michael replies back.

"Then go do it." My mom said them walked away to check up on my other brother.

"I will still pay you that three dollars and fifty cent I owe you just go get your clothes." I said to Michael making him go down stairs to get the clothes.

I go to my room to get the money and Michael comes upstairs to his room which is directly in front of mine and pits his clothes away. I count my money a couple of times because I kept getting distracted.

"Here you go." I said giving Michael the money and going back to my room. Michael started to count the money and her puts it in this box he keeps all his money in.

"I'm missing twenty cent." Michael says as I walk back into his room.

"No your not, I gave you the right amount"

"If you did I would have my missing twenty cent."

"Oh yeah shown me." I said and Michael turns back to his box and goes rummaging through it. I just stand there smiling waiting for him to realize that he has no proof because he already put the money in the box.

Michael stops rummaging through the box and literally face palms himself and I just turn around going to my room laughing.
