The difference between mothers and children is...

John, the young strapping athletic sports teen was shooting hoops in the front yard. While doing a layup, he knocked himself silly against the backboard. He hit the ground with a smack.
When he opened his eyes, one of them was blurry.
"Damn, I knocked out a contact lens," he swore.
He searched up and down the concrete scouring the ground. He looked at the ball, the grass surrounding the yard, everywhere.
Sighing in frustraition, he went in to tell his mother.
"Mom, I lost one of my contact lenses," he explained. "I can't find it anywhere! I looked and looked and looked!"
She looked at him and went outside. She looked in the same places he said he did, and lo and behold, there was the lens. Carefully she picked it up and brought it to him.
"I don't get it. You did the same thing with my new tennis shoes the other day, and my Ipod last week. How do you do it?"
"It's real simple... I don't see your tennis shoes. I see a fifty dollar bill. I don't see your ipod, I see a hundred dollar bill...and I didn't see your contact lens... I saw a hundred and fifty bucks go down the drain..."
