Change isn't Cheap!

     I remember at age five standing on the porch, watching my uncle’s friend Koody rolling dice. It appeared to be a pretty exciting game because of all the yelling and cursing that took place, not to mention all the money that was on the floor. Koody would take the dice and shake them while

they were still in his hands and roll the dice on the floor of the porch. As the dice came to a stop, Koody would yell, “Come on, seven!” I believe Koody was an all right crap shooter because he kept picking up money. I asked Mr. Koody if he would show me how to play, and he told

me that I needed some money. I immediately ran into the house and grabbed a bunch of pennies that were lying around; I would have grabbed some dollars, but I couldn’t find any. I ran back out to the porch and squatted down like Mr. Koody. He told me I would need to wait until it was my turn to roll the dice. While I waited for my turn, I attempted to pick up on all the genre that was being used, but they were all talking at the same time; and besides, they were using a bunch of profanity. Well, my turn came to roll the dice, and as I was given the dice, Mr. Koody told me that I needed to put my money on the ground in order to roll the dice. So I took my handful of pennies and threw them on the ground. As I started shaking the dice in my hand, I could hear everyone else laughing. Mr. Koody grabbed my hand and told me that I needed some real money, and his next words were, “Pennies don’t spend.” The nerve of that guy, treating my pennies like they weren’t real money! As I stood up and shamefully walked away, I took a lesson away with me as well as my pennies. The lesson was that change is cheap! I wish that Mr. Koody’s statement was the case for the changes that were about to take place in my life. Purchasing airline tickets from Arizona to Indiana weren’t cheap. Taking Genevieve back home with me, while my family knew I was still married, wasn’t cheap. The feeling of disrespecting my grandmother by asking if we could stay with her wasn’t cheap. The overall objective of removing my mother from a pedestal by confronting her wasn’t cheap. I was taking a crash course in Change 101; learning that whether change is beneficial or detrimental, it’s never cheap.
