Another small town moment for ya

Walking into the grocery store, Anna found a dime. Even finding pennies brings exclamations of joy, so you can imagine her excitement. As we were walking through the store, she asked me over and over and over what she could buy for ten cents. I assured her (using my know-it-all mommy tone) that ten cents wasn't enough to buy anything in the store. You won't believe what I saw as we were checking out. Not one but two candies for under ten cents. Anna was able to buy tootsie rolls for all the kids and get change back. Obviously I need to keep my mommy tone in check. Also, where else could Eli sit down in middle of the "big" highway to take off his shoes and not get run over?
