Day of pennies...

So today, I kept finding pennies.
I found three pennies through the course of my shift today, I kept picking them up and putting them on the sales counter. I mean, what do you do with a penny? Put it in your pocket? Not unless you wanna look like a completely desperate stinge.. So I put these three pennies on the counter.
After my shift ends, I'm walking home and decide to go into subway to buy a bottle of water, and it just so happens that I'm exactly 3 pennies short.

...

So I short changed the girl, she didn't mind too much, I got my bottle of water, and leave.
Of course, I get off the bus, start walking home and take a swig, and a torrential downpour begins. I lower the bottle from my lips and look somewhat ironically at the sky.. This bottle cost me $2.00?
Life is indeed a box of chocolates. All melted, and those ones with the caramel inside are always too hard to chew properly for a minute or two until they heat up. Also the swirls on the top are interesting.

You know, if you give someone a penny for their thoughts, and they give you their two cents, where does the other penny go?
