The Peach Pit

When our children were young I used to pick cherries and make pies from them. We always said if anyone found a cherry pit in their pie they could turn it in for a quarter. Since I missed a pit now and then several quarters were collected. Our son David and his family were home recently and I made a fresh peach pie. While eating his piece Dave found this. I couldn't believe it, but I had let a peach pit slip through. "Wow", he said, "if a cherry pit is worth a quarter this big boy should be worth a dollar". After I laughed until I cried, I paid him his dollar.
