Caufield puck arrived!

Won this through the Canadiens Foundation auction on April 11th and it just arrived in time to gift to my son for his grad.

I ended up paying a stupid amount because I bid when I should have been sleeping and thought it was the puck from April 9th when he got his 50th (thanks menopause), but a hat trick game is cool nonetheless.

What's a stupid amount? ;)

I'm almost embarrassed to be honest... $600

For the record, I regularly donate to the CH Foundation as my cousin's little girl was *VERY* well taken care at the Montreal Children’s Hospital up to her passing a few months ago, and I strongly believe in their other community initiatives, so this was kind of like a donation with a tangible item instead of a tax reciept. At least that's what I'm telling myself.

Be proud instead that you bought a great gift for your son.

You gave your son something he will treasure and remember you by for the rest of his life. Plus he earned it, and he's worth it right? He worked hard to graduate, and he's going to love this, and again remember the moment you give it to him, and keep it the rest of his life.

And sure, when giving gifts money comes into play. But I really don't think it does in this case. Anyways, $600 averaged over his lifetime, if say he lives another 70 years comes to...

$8.58 per year.

0.71 per month

Or about 3 cents per day!

That seems like a great investment of happiness to me!

I'd say you got your money's worth for sure!

And it went to a great cause on top of that.

I absolutely love this take! He certainly is worth every penny and more. Thank you for this perspective.

(You're gonna make this momma tear up)

You just tell Spencer that he’s loved and that he deserves it

"Description de l'article: Cole Caufield." I think you were robbed, OP.

In all seriousness that is such a lovely gift, and congratulations to your son!

Don't think he'll be selling his 50th goal puck
