In Honor of Frugality

Maxwell: I know Momma works hard so we can have fancy toys and stuff.
So I thought maybe, in honor of National Frugal Fun Day, I could help out by playing with something that didn't cost her any of those green papers.


Maxwell: Hullo, little dried weed. You landed on my foot a coupla weeks ago.
Faraday: (yells from the other room) PAW, Maxie. You have paws. Sheeeesh, seriouslies....
Maxwell: Ignore him, little weed. Let's you and me play!


Maxwell: *chomp!*flip!*


Maxwell: See how much fun this is, Faraday?
Faraday: (from the other room) Yeah, yeah, yeah, go on, knock yourself out...
Maxwell: Now Momma doesn't need to waste her green papers on any wand toys for us!


Faraday: Now hold on, Maxie, let's not go overboard with this FRUGAL stuff....

Wait. No green papers for your toys means more for me...
 
Maxwell: Uh, bro, I don't think Momma's gonna like your math.

  2. Found toys are the best toys! It's too bad they're often followed by, "Nooooooo, that's not yooooours!"

  6. Maxie, you could market that and make a fortune!
    You'll need a logo, a jingle... how about an infomercial?!
    You're going to need a whole staff.

  7. We like to roll in that grass and then bring it in the house. We don't play with it, but we think Mom appreciates us giving her something to pick up for the exercise.
