Points

I have sunk to a new low.

I paid my 3 year-old a dollar to get out and retrieve an empty Coca Cola box from my neighbor's recycle bin so I could get the Coke Rewards points off the end of the box. She's the only one I could bribe. The other kids still have their pride, but Lillian was all over that dollar, man. She jumped at the chance to get garbage for Mommy.

That was after I filched an empty box of cereal off another neighbor's recycle pile because the box had 5 Boxtops for Education on it.

Hi, my name is Beth and I'm a pointaholic.

Hmmmmmm -- I wonder if there is a 12-step program for that.

Oh my goodness, you crack me up. If I thought you could use our Canadian points I'd go through all the garbage in my neighbourhood for you. For a price my kids'll do just about anything ;)

Lee, it's worth a shot. Next time you find some Coke points, email me the code and I'll try it. You can be my dealer! ; )
