I think OP means the last two dollars they had with them at the time. Not the last two dollars they have to their name. Those two dollars are invested in the stock market, which, right now, makes them worth more like 25 cents.

Have you ever been a teenager?! We generally don't have much money, which is why we take crappy jobs like babysitting. Having only two bucks left is very believable.

Sitting down to eat, I'm guessing.

Seriously? Kid FML's always have some ridiculous comment about well "why was your 5 yr old unsupervised for 2 minutes!" I wonder if anyone who posts them actually applies those principles to raising their own child. Constant eye contact, cover sharp edges until they are 15, no playing outside without knee-pads shit. These coddling-style child raising is going to lead to some future adults with serious dependency/wuss issues. In case that was a serious question: A. He was most likely in reaching distance of the coffee because they were seated at the same table. Where would you prefer she kept her coffee?

You have to admit though, the "spinach" kid FML, the parent should of been paying attention. Here though, Compass's statement is just plain dumb.

Exactly. I babysat for ten years and no one EVER expected me to pay to feed their children. There was one occasion where I was babysitting over the weekend and the parents had left money for food and activities, but the parents ended up being detained for an extra day so there wasn't enough money, and they reimbursed me for his activities and food for that extra day. I would never babysit if a parent expected me to pay for their child's food and activities. That defeats the whole purpose of babysitting as a job. Of course, that's not to say that if I think the kid has been particularly good, I won't treat him or her to a movie or ice skating, but that's my own choice.

Wow, we're all impressed by your McDonald's expertise. Did it ever occur to you that in the context of a story, someone saying they spent their last $2 instead of getting really specific and saying they spent their last $2.52 is just taking creative liberties for the sake of simplifying the story?

No, Flounder. The OP is meant to remember EXACTLY how much they paid for their meal down to the penny and make sure to post it in their FML because all of us are dying to know.

Chicken nuggets are on the dollar menu here!
