Piggy Banks

I went to the post office the other day to send a package to my brother in South Carolina. We had been talking recently about piggy banks - he was looking for one - and I happened to find one that a friend's grandson no longer used. So, I decided to surprise him and mail it to him. Of course, when you mail any package these days, there's always the standard questions asked by the postal worker re: the contents. No, the package did not contain any hazardous materials, explosives, illegal drugs, etc. Finally, I just said, "It's just a little plastic piggy bank." No need to heavily insure it!! However, the more I thought about it, especially after going on my daily walk, I decided EVERYONE needs a piggy bank these days. And here's why:

Save those pennies, nickels, and dimes -
They can add up over time.
With all the bailouts today
I think the piggy's the safest way
To have some money for a
"rainy day"!
