Only 25 cents, Day 194

I remember gazing into the candy machines at the grocery store as a kid filled with desire for what was just out of reach. I see that same longing in my son's eyes as we pass by the gum ball machine in the entryway of our favorite Vietnamese restaurant. He's lucky if I happen to have a quarter on me, but more often than not, I don't have one or I just don't want him to have the sugar. But when he does get one, he is totally blissed out.
