Pay Day

Every Friday when Anne would get paid I would call to get a report on her paycheck from Advo.  The checks were never very big because it was a sheltered workshop but that didn't matter to Anne.  She would talk it up big time....It was a big one this week!.......I'm getting pretty rich!........You are not going to believe my paycheck this week!..........I've been working my butt off folding towels and earning money!.......I earned it!.......She had plenty of 1-liners.  After playing it up for several minutes, I would finally coax it out of her.  Holding back her giggles, Anne would proudly announce her weekly wages:  $7.42!!! (or something in that ballpark).  It was great to see Anne so proud of a hard day's work.  Advo was a great place for her.
