"What did you get?" - Nephew "A card" Me opening it "Does it have money?" -him (It does indeed have some money as my mom just ran out of ideas this year and felt bad for being tacky) "It's the thought that counts " -me and I read the card . Then, having made my moral lesson delievered, I look at the rest of the room "I'll be keeping the money that COMES with the thoughts, of course"
