I remember when it was two pieces of coal in your stocking at Christmas.
Wait ... are we talking about the same thing? :D :p
Maybe we aren't on the same page? :confused:

Thread hijack, just because it reminded me and made me laugh:
At the time we were planning our wedding, my husband asked me, "Isn't your father supposed to give me a cow or something?"
For at least the first five years after we were married, he kept complaining, "I never did get my cow".
So I finally went to my father and begged him to give DH a cow. A stuffed animal. A creamer. A Christmas tree ornament, even. Just some kind of representation of a cow.
For Christmas that year, Dad donated a cow in DH's name through the Heifer Project. Now DH talks proudly of how his cow is helping make a living for a farmer in Egypt.
End hijack.
LOL!
My wife is a twin ... we had a double wedding. When my wife and her sister came down the aisle, their father handed them off to me and my (now) brother-in-law and then held out his hand saying, "Two for a quarter." We had 20 cents between us (rented tux's so I am surprised we had any change at all). We later offered to return the girls, and he claimed we owed him a nickel. :)
