matt and i had a deep conversation yesterday on our family walk. the topic was:
which is better...the dollar bill or the loonie?
we came up with a list of pros for each. it is incredibly fascinating, i know!
dollar bill pros.
- you feel rich with a wad of dollar bills.
- there are lots of rap songs that mention dolla' bills. which means they much be cool...
- you can throw dollar bills in the air like a rapper. throwing loonies in the air would hurt.
- they aren't as heavy as a loonie.
- dollar bills don't roll away. (it's amazing how far a coin rolls when you don't want it to).
- they don't make your wallet all lumpy.
- you could use a dollar bill as a book mark.
- the dollar bill is always a little bit more valuable then the loonie. (due to the exchange rate).
loonie pros.
- if you need to do 'heads or tails', and you don't have a quarter, you could use a loonie.
- if you accidentally drop a loonie you hear it.
- a vending machine never spits your loonie back out at you, like it does with a crumpled up bill.
- it's stressful trying to un-crumple the bills you have shoved in your pocket when a cashier is waiting. and loonies never get crumpled.
- you will never get a loonie confused with any bills.
- the loonie can get wet.
- loonies don't blow away.
- having loonies in your piggy bank makes it so much more valuable, compared to just having the other coins.
- it has a loon on it.
after all that, we are still undecided.
i'm a little unsure posting this video because i don't want anyone to think we are awful parents. but matt has convinced me to post it anyways. so i am. just so you know, this is not something we let happen all the time. chet gets lots of nice kisses from tank, but tank usually gets in trouble for doing this. if you don't have a dog, or don't like dogs, then you will think it is especially gross. but it makes us laugh.
this is us enjoying some snoasis.
