a thousand bucks

So I thought it might be exciting to give Sally 1000 rupees instead of $20 Canadian for her birthday.  Little did I know that my sister had been schooling her on the worthlessness of 1 rupee compared to $1 Canadian.

I excitedly watched her open her card and go "yeah." like I had gifted her a pair of dirty underwear.  Me: It's a 1000 dollars!
Sally: meh
Me: Aren't you excited, you can spend it in India, it's got Gandhi's picture on it!
Sally: (gives me that who is Gandhi and why would I care look)
My Dad:  Let me see, that's cool!
Sally: Wait, how much is this worth?
Me: $20
Sally: (face lights up like a Christmas tree) I got $20!

So much for impressing her with all those zeros....
