This is my first time doing the 50 word short story challenge. Thank you, at @Vdux for making me aware of @jayna's 50 word short story challenge
A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS
Can I have some money, Mom.
Sure, DJ.
Well, I'm waiting.
Oh, you wanted me to give it to you?
Yes.
Okay, here.
You only gave me a penny.
A penny is money. When you can articulate your thoughts better, maybe you'll get more.
Can I have a twenty?
NO!

My son DJ was the inspiration for the story. He has a job and earns good money, but like most young adults he never carries cash. It drives me nuts!
