The Superhero and The Penny

In his quest to unlock the mysteries of the universe and in an effort to contribute to the well-being of mankind, Captain Owen continues his relentless pursuit of testing the laws of nature and the limits of his mother's patience. For example, a few of his experiments have been....

"How many places can I potty and poop that are NOT approved waste receptacles?" (Answer...too many to count.)

And...

"How far up on the wall can my chocolate milk go?"
(Answer....to the crown moulding.)

The latest theory put to the test was....

"What is the next best place to put a penny besides my piggy bank?"

Answer...

The superhero and his older cohort eagerly cracked the eggs and stirred the batter for the mound of sugary goodness that was to be Kai's birthday cake. Upon turning out the miniature loaf of cake I noticed a perfectly round hole in the top. After further inspection, a penny was located at the bottom of the pan with cake baked right on to ol' Honest Abe.

Of course, Captain Owen was the first to come to the mind of the experienced Mama! So he was subjected to some intense interrogation. Captain Owen dutifully stuck to the superhero's creed which is...

"Deny! Deny! Deny! And then give someone else the credit!" (Translation: Blame your brother.)

But after a few transparent denials, he succumbed to the pressures of a relentless Mama, and confessed.

Apparently, superheroes don't hide their money in offshore accounts or the predictable piggy bank.

They prefer cake.
