Carrot Money

She was just four years old and enjoying the outdoors while helping her Great GrandPappy in his backyard in Pennsylvania, when she suddenly noticed a bunny rabbit. “Look Pappy there’s a bunny!” she exclaimed. “Yeah I see it and it better stay out of my garden!” said Pappy. Little Alexis giggled as she stared at the bunny for a few seconds. She turned away and continued helping her Great GrandPappy, all the while remembering to check on that bunny nearly every few seconds. She wanted to make sure the bunny didn’t go in the garden. All of a sudden she noticed the bunny was gone. She looked all around and then she said “Hey Pappy the bunny is gone!” Pappy said “Yeah he is. Where do you think he went?” Oh he went to Grammy’s house in Las Vegas” said Alexis with such certainty in her voice. Pappy chuckled and said “Now how did he get from here all the way to Las Vegas already?” Alexis put her hands on her hips and looked directly at her Great GrandPappy in a very matter of fact manner and said “Duh! He used his carrot money Pappy that’s how!” Needless to say, she gave her Great GrandPappy his laugh for the day! Alexis will be six years old in this month, March 2009. What a fond memory!
