aaaannnnd then i found 20 bucks

...only i really did! but it's not a cool story, so don't be excited. my dad and i were in a casino in washington, and there was a $20 bill on the ground next to where some lady was sitting. i picked it up, and i considered asking her if it was hers, but then i figured she'd say "yes" no matter what. so, i found a security guard and told him i found it on the ground next to her. he took it from me, and i asked him if i could have it if it isn't hers, and he laughed at me and said, "no." so then i left and told my dad. and then i realized how stupid i was because the lady left and the security guard still had the twenty, and i still didn't have it. anyway, i questioned him further, and he said that there was also a man sitting there earlier, and they have to "review the security tapes." anyway, my dad thinks he's going to keep it...and i kind of do, too. and now i feel dumb because somebody else (who didn't deserve it) got the money instead of me. but then i was also thinking that if i had just kept it, i would have also felt guilty. so the moral of the story is: money sucks. because i would have just been better off if i had never encountered it, anyway. but instead, i thought about it for a few hours last night, and there wasn't really a good way out.
