Uncle Jerry and Uncle Eddie

Uncle Jerry &
Uncle Eddie
All families have stories that get passed down from generation to generation. This is one of my favorites from my family. 
One day my uncle Jerry, one of the oldest of my mom’s nine brothers, came home to find Eddie, the youngest, crying on the front stoop of the house. Jerry asked Eddie what was wrong; Eddie said he had a nickel and he lost it. Jerry pulled a quarter out of his pocket and said, “There, now you have five nickels.” Then Jerry went inside.
When he came out later, Jerry found Eddie still sitting there crying and asked him, “What’s wrong now?”
Eddie whimpered, “If I hadn’t lost my nickel, I’d have six nickels now.”
I used that story in raising both my daughters to teach lessons in logic, greed, and attaining happiness. This week I dedicate this story to all those out there complaining that the House Democrats should have moved to impeach Trump after the Mueller Report and broadened the bill of impeachment to include campaign finance violations, obstruction of justice and breaking the Emoluments Clause. Quarters are raining down on our heads, folks. Stop crying.
