Moms always have that little bit of cash tucked away in the bottom of their purse.
True story: My mom passed away fifteen years ago and I ended up with her purse. After she died my sister, brother, and myself looked at a few things in it to make sure there were no accounts we didn't know of (there weren't). Then it went in one of my closets next to one of my father's old sweaters. It's been kind of nice to look in the closet once in a while and it looks like the two of them are at the house. It's a nice feeling.
Anyway, a few months ago I wanted to find some old pictures I knew she used to keep with her and Mrs. Bart and I went through the purse. Lisa, knowing purses better than I do, opened up a pocket on the bottom of the purse and pulled out $5000 in $100 bills. Had no idea it was there and no idea where she got it. She was not the kind of person to have so much money.
For now it's all sitting in the purse but we've moved the purse from the closet to my gun safe. I'm inclined to give it to one of the kids at church as a scholarship since my mom was big into education. I just can't see using it for myself or even splitting it with my siblings because they'll just blow it on foolishness. I want my mom to be remembered with the money.
I know, tl;dr but your comment touched a nerve.
