Honestly, I just got tired of it.
It started when I was in grade school. Any trivial dispute that came up, and the quarters were sure to come out. “Heads I win, tails you lose.” Sneered the face on the other side of George Washington’s.
I never won.
As I grew up I began to obsess over those coin tosses. It seemed there was nothing I could do, I was doomed to a life of failure.
Then, one day, I stooped over to pick a penny off of the sidewalk, and arrived at an astonishing discovery. The penny wouldn’t budge. It had been placed on the wet concrete, and was now an immovable part of the sidewalk.
Obviously this penny could not be flipped. But was there a lesson in it that I could apply to my problem with the coin flip? I thought there might be.
I went home and thought on it. After a while I went out into my shop and started to make a one sided coin. I was putting on the finishing touches when Brent walked in. Now if there’s one thing Brent can’t refuse it’s a good coin flip.
“Heads I win.” I grinned at Brent.
“Sure.” Said Brent.
It was tails.

Now a coin with two heads just might increase your odds. But don’t bet on it.
I remember there was a trend of gluing coins to the pavement.
And a very good trend at that!
That Brent sure has all the luck.
Doesn’t he?
You still use coins?
I bit one the other day.
Ha!
Send me your coins and I will glue them to the sidewalk for you.
You’re so generous.
Mint!
Gum!
ain’t that the tooth!
I think Brent cheated…
Could be.
Boy, your luck kinda sucks!

You should see what happens when I try flipping an egg.
That’s no yolk!
I guess the yokes on you 😂
Sounds like my kinda luck!
Aren’t you lucky?
No. My husband is, so I hoped the kids would at least even out to neutral.
How’s that going so far?
Eh. Fifty-fifty.
Fair enough.
