Ok, so I am about to tell you about an amazing, almost impossible feat that is only due to the outstanding brain power that my younger brother and I hold. Here we go.
So my dad wanted my brother and me to go grocery shopping. He gave us the credit card and told us that we could spend $100 dollars. Knowing my family, if we spent that much the card would be denied, so my goal was $80. So we get to the store and start putting items into the cart, calculating a dollar amount that we thought we were at. We occasionally tacked on a dollar or 2 because of small amounts of change, and then rounded to the nearest dollar at times. Once we thought we were at $80 we went to the check-out. It looked like we were in the clearing about halfway through, until we got to the more expensive items. It was looking like we may not make it!!!!
We kept scanning still. As we scanned the final item we both looked up at the price. It was as if we looked in slow motion, like the climax of a movie. We fixated our eyes on the final price that read........79.86!!!!!! (without tax) In utter amazement we jumped on top of the scanner and screamed "ITS A MIRACLE, WE ARE THE DEFINITION OF BRILLIANCE!!!!" and pumped our fists in victory. (ok so we didnt really jump on the scanners and shout, but thats how i felt) We then paid for it and triumphantly strutted out.
The moral of the story is....well, just read the title
