| Wow, I found the million! |
My hubby and I carried on the saga of the million and used to joke when we'd find a penny or dime that some of it must have spilled out into the open.It's easy to feel rich when you know there's that much money hanging around somewhere.
I was sorting through some old files and tubs to see what could be tossed or sent to thrift stores. I'm one of the "Oh, gosh, just look at this" kinds of people. I get sidetracked debating what to do with things. Sometimes I just put the lid back on or shut the drawer to come back another time.
At any rate, I found a sealed envelope inside one of the files with my name on the front. I slit it open and there it was! The million dollars! I did a little happy dance and laughed until I cried. I could just see the big Irish smile on my man's face as he tucked away a leprechaun-themed million with a great message for me to discover at a later date.
A new theme for future generations to carry on? It's the gold bars that must be hidden away somewhere.

My sister, who is an artist, made this HIDEOUS little shrunken head out of plaster when she was in high school. my dad and I spent SO much time hiding it on each other and trying to scare each other. My mom finally had to take it away.
ReplyDeletemy brother and I used to have this remote control fart machine. You can imagine when my parents moved, and we found it, the fun had a whole new level as adults!
ReplyDeleteWe love to recount the story of my son being chased by a goat. Of course, he cried but we couldn't stop laughing.
ReplyDeleteJust the thought of my brother and I and all of the moments we used to share together as kids. I miss those days!
ReplyDeleteI love the million dollar bill, that's too funny! What a cute little joke to have in the family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little surprise. This is such a fun family tradition. I love inside jokes like this.
ReplyDeleteOh how fun! I wish our family. Did something like this or with inside jokes. Sadly nothing yet but now I have my thinking cap on! - Jeanine
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cute idea. We do a lot of playful teasing and joking in our family.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute. We played mean jokes on each other growing up. My brother could sleep through anything so we would paint his toe nails.
ReplyDeleteMy kids are still young enough that the word "poop" is good for endless entertainment!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a fun way to get kids to like cleaning or helping out! I wish something like this would work with my 18 year old lol!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun tradition. And who wouldn't want to find a million dollar bill? lol :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tradition! This post made me LOL! I'd clean the house for a million dollars!
ReplyDeleteThat is so fun! This is reminding me that I have my nose to the grindstone so much we aren't doing enough fun things like this! We do have a leprechaun that comes every ST. Patrick's day though that tears our house apart and turns the milk and toilet water green!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, I think I'll start this in my house. I'll have to come up with a good idea for a running family joke. This looks like a LOT of fun.
ReplyDeleteI wish my family had fun little traditions like this one. We don't really have any inside jokes.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet man you have. Such a fun tradition.
ReplyDeleteAh, that would be so cute. I'm going to have to start a tradition like that.
ReplyDeleteCan't really think of any silly traditions like that when I was younger. But now I have a little fairy magic that lives in our house. Kiddo and I have an inside fairy garden and for the last few years kiddo has left notes and treats for the fairies. Sometimes they leaver her notes and gifts too. It makes her feel special to think that the fairies are with her. I've been reading her Celtic/Irish fairy mythology for as long as I can remember.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I always joke that I'll check the couch cushions when we need something... as if money grows there!
ReplyDeleteWe have a lot of fun with the tooth fairy around here. My kids love that she pays out so much.
ReplyDeleteI have to laugh, my husband and I have these fake 1K bills for a fun poker type party we've kept for year. Sometimes, I hide them in his pockets, shoes, the car... he gets so excited then so bummed all in 3/2 seconds!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great family tradition! I would have had a laugh over finding a million too :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun tradition, I don't remember anything cute like yours but our road trips were a family tradition and we always had a great time.
ReplyDeleteYou know, we don't have any, but I'm going to start some! This is absolutely adorable. Thank you for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a cute idea! I've never heard of this one before!
ReplyDeleteCute little family idea. I don't know about any family traditions that I currently do besides the basic holiday get togethers but I would love to have many little ones when I have my own family!
ReplyDeleteTraditions are important. With so much going on in our lives, its important to give our kids things to remember. Life is so hectic for people in the 21st century.
