If you give a Syd a twenty...

If you give a Syd a twenty and send her into the party store to buy cups it may take her awhile and bring a surprise.

If you give a Syd a twenty and send her into the party store to buy cups she will pick out the cups and show them to you through the store window

If you give a Syd a twenty and send her into the party store to buy cups you will wonder what is taking so long even though you can see her standing in line.

If you give a Syd a twenty and send her into the party store to buy cups she will purchase the cups and have change left over.

If you give a Syd a twenty and send her into the party store to buy cups and you see her standing in line and then you see her purchase the cups and then you see her standing in line again you will wonder what is going on .

If you give a Syd a twenty and send her into the party store to buy cups she will finally come out to the van triumphantly holding her shopping bag and exclaiming success.

If you give a Syd a twenty and send her into the party store to buy cups she will come out with a story to tell:  She will tell you she found the cups and paid for the cups and had $16.78 left over so she decided to look at the party balloons.  It is her first communion today and her birthday is coming up after all.  She will tell you she decided that a cross balloon is probably a little bit too "partyish for the day so she decided to buy the big $9.99 birthday balloon which was $10.75 after tax.  Then she will tell you she stood in line behind some guy with a MILLION balloons and it was taking FOREVER so she decided it didn't need to be inflated and moved to another line and bought the balloon so now she has the party balloon for the birthday party she and her sister are planning.  And she will be so proud of herself that there is no way you can be mad even though when you gave a Syd a twenty all she was supposed to buy was party cups...
