Penny Pinching Irishman

Roo woke up this morning and discovered that to his dismay the penny's he placed on his bedroom floor were scattered about. It took him exactly 2 seconds to start crying like someone had punched him in the gut. I promptly collected four of them from the carpet and when I couldn't find any more, I asked how many there were. He said five in between sobs. From his distress I would have guessed that it was a lot more than just one stinking penny. I gave him 3 dimes to replace his penny and even then he wouldn't let up. This kid must have gotten this from his Dad. Some times I drop a penny and I'm too lazy to exert the effort required to retrieve it.
