Tuesday's dress down assignment was to wear their favorite jersey, and Chase wore his Notre Dame jersey. Chase got to school at 7:43 instead of 7:40 but he said that was all right, that it didn't take long to update the poster for Penny Pincher. In the afternoon when Nanaw picked Chase up, he asked her for some pennies to take to school tomorrow. Nanaw got out her can of pennies and got out some pennies and silver. She told Chase the story of the penny can, saying that when Mama and Uncle Mike were little, all year they saved their pennies for Christmas Eve dinner. Then they put the pennies in penny rolls and took them to the bank to get dollars. Then they used the dollars to get Kentucky Fried Chicken (now called KFC) for Christmas Eve dinner. Nanaw told Chase it was a wonderful tradition and that maybe Chase could think of a tradition he'd like to start. He has a geography test on Wednesday on the Alaska and Hawaii maps. He did a test on Nanaw and told her she did fairly well. After studying, Chase got his chess game out of his room and set it up so he could teach Truman the Mizzou Tiger how to play chess. He told Nanaw she could watch if she wanted, and she did. It was very cute watching Chase trying to teach a stuffed animal how to play chess. Of course, Chase won. When Nanaw took Chase home, she told Mama she was going to Schnuck's to get her newspaper, and Mama said she was going to Schnuck's to get snacks for their Kansas City trip this weekend, so they decided to go together, and Nanaw said she would drive. So they had a mother-daughter shopping adventure!
