Assuming it was a lost piece of paper that I had used briefly as a book marker, I opened the book and found not a piece of scrape paper but a dollar bill.
I am not sure how it ended up in the book but I have one of two scenario.
- I was carrying the book around in my purse while I was reading it. At some point I purchased something, when I got my change I just shoved it in my purse and the dollar ended up in the book. I some how never noticed it and when I finished the book it ended up on a book shelf. The dollar stayed hidden for 3 years (that's when I read the book) despite my 2 moves and constant rearranging of books.
- I actually used the book as a book marker while I was reading the book. One day while I was somewhere my reading got interrupted and I grabbed the closest thing to mark my page and it happened to be a dollar bill. I probably thought to myself when I finish the book I will put the dollar in my wallet. When I finished the book my wallet was not handy and I stuck the dollar back in the book thinking I will get it later. The book got put on the shelf and forgotten all about.
I am going to start pulling books off the book shelves and look for treasure.
This has me
I once found a check that had been written to me for payment for babysitting... so I think the 2nd scenario is the right one too.
ReplyDeleteLOL....I have done the 1st one occasionally.
ReplyDeleteI love little "happy accidents" like that.

I've never used money as bookmarkers, but perhaps I should... especially if it means finding surprises down the road when you least expect them ;)
