On a family vacation in the car, we stopped for gas and bathroom breaks. I was about7 or 8.
I got the neatest souvenir coin out of a machine in the bathroom! It was gold! Metal!
Kind of greasy, but very cool, and only a quarter.
My parents thought it was rather humorous...
As I played with it in the car, it fell apart. Man, was I upset.......
Until I discovered it had a long BALLOON inside! That was greasy too, but who cares?
I blew that thing up and my sister and I played with it for quite a while!
My parents thought that was REALLY funny!
Until it blew out the window.... Dad thought that was funny, but Mom wasn't too happy
about that. Neither was I.
It was a decade before I realized my cool coin and balloon was a condom.
