This little bank is by far one of the best things I will ever own. I know I seem to have a trend of sentimental stuff here but that's just who I am. I love things that have meaning. I am not a superficial type gal. :) so back to the bank.
This little guy has sat on the top of my Grandmother's fridge for as long as I can remember. Its always held pennies in it. See, my Grandma loves playing penny poker, especially around Christmas time. Its usually her, 2 of my uncles, and my Grandpa that play. One time I was watching her play and she's a crack up, she has the poker lingo down. I actually heard her say "ok, down and dirty" I laughed so hard, and she calls the queens, Ladies.
Anyways, one day she told me I could have the bank and omg I was like hell yeah. First thing I did was text all my cousin's...saying, I am number 1, I got the bank. LOL. We all wanted it but yanno...her favorite got it.
I tried to clean him up but the bad part is part of his details started to rub off. I need to find some plastic cleaner that can get him nice and shiny.
I am not sure if any of you even know what Bob's big boy restaurant is, but it was a decent diner type place. I have a rather funny story about it. The little bank is a replica of the big statue that would stand outside of the restaurant. Well, my husband, his 3 brother and 2 of their friends decided they wanted to play a joke, and they stole the statue. My mother in law was actually totally ok with it, she thought it was funny, I guess when you have 4 sons that are always up to total boy things, nothing shocks you. She did make them return it but can you imagine an 8 foot Bob's big boy sitting in your front yard? hahah I tell you those guys were nuts back in the day.
