    I got a note from school today saying that my son AJ was confused...they were working with play paper money and gave him a $50.
    He told the teacher that the $50 was wrong and would not pass as real.
    He also told her (teacher) that it was made wrong and was missing a star.

    He drew this on the note....LOL

    I am going to 2nd grade tomorrow and explain to all the kids what a Star note is.

    This is priceless to me!!

    I showed my wife when she came home last night..she was cracking up as well.
    It was just so funny to see his little expression as he was telling me it did not have a "star" on it and it was wrong.

    Thanks guys, I thought it might get a chuckle from you.

    Rickie, that is awesome. And it should make for an interesting and informative conversation. Bet the teacher re-assesses her original statement.

    LOL, great story Rickie...and the perfect person to pass on your legendary NY collection too. At 2nd grade, he already knows more about paper currency than I did 2 years ago. ;)

    LOL...right now he knows about "Stars" being special...
    He knows the Presidents up to Jackson...cuz he says WOW $20 bucks Ole Jackson! Which he has heard me say "Ole Hickory" many many times!

    I told him it was Grant on the $50 and he was a Cilvil War General...

    He say's "Silver War" wow Dad, thats old!

    He thinks all the Large Size are just pretty to look at!
    Likes the Trains and Boats on the Large Blue Seals...

    Man I wish he would stay 7 forever!

    He really should get to know William McKinley and Grover Cleveland, believe me, my five year old daughter knows them. She doesn't own one, but she loves looking at them. She does own the oldest banknote, and the largest though.
