Penny for your Thoughts

Schatz: (delighttfully as she looks at her X-ray) That's my money!

Mommy: What did you do with that penny?

Schatz: I ate it in my mouth and it's in my belly. They take my picture at the doctor. See...my money.

Mommy: Why did you eat the money?

Schatz: Because I can eat the money. See. In my mouth.

Later...

Doctor: Did you eat the penny?

Schatz: (nodding) Yes.

Doctor: Did it taste good?

Schatz: No.

Doctor: Are you going to eat the penny again?

Schatz shrugs her shoulders.
