What’s the maddest you’ve ever been at your kid? Even at their worst, as a parent, you can’t have stayed mad at them for that long, especially if they are still little! Kids don’t always have a sense of right and wrong as we do and as a result, they do things that make us a bit angry or upset!

THIS kid, however, might have to find a new home to stay at.

Ben Belnap is a big football fan. Growing up, he looked forward to the day where he would be able to buy season tickets on his own so he could watch the University of Utah play every week. As he grew up and got older, that goal became closer to being a reality.

One season, Ben asked his parents to borrow the money so he would be able to buy the season’s tickets and then pay them back later.

As good parents would, they loaned Ben and his family the money and didn’t think about it again. Ben and his family were incredibly appreciative and promised to pay the back as soon as they saved up enough money. They started putting away their spare bills, getting closer to the final figure each day.

Putting everything into an envelope, they finally reached their goal.

After some time and effort, they officially had $1,060 in bills, all ready and waiting for the next time they went to see their parents. Owing a debt isn’t a great feeling and they were excited to pay it all off, even if it was only to their parents.

When it was finally time to go hang out with Ben’s mom, they went to go grab the envelope…

Only, it wasn’t where they had put it. Checking every drawer and cabinet in their home, they had no idea what happened with the envelope full of cash. It was turning into quite a scary mystery.

After running out of ideas, Jackee, Bens wife decided to check in one final place – the shredder.

Lifting up the lid, she was terrified to peek in. Finally, as the lid cleared the top and light shined in the crack, she saw it. Or, what was left of it, rather. Their 2-year-old son Leo had found the envelope and tossed it in the shredder.

Posting the photo and story to social media, people had some hilarious responses.

Jokes can often help make the pain easier to deal with, but it looked like Ben’s parents were going to have to wait a little longer to get that 1k back! Thankfully, after posting their story, their learned that Mutilated Currency Redeption Service may be able to help them get their money back!

The BEP’s Mutilated Currency Division provides free mutilated currency redemption services for individuals and institutions, such as businesses and financial institutions, in possession of United States mutilated currency notes. On average, the BEP receives more than 22,000 requests for examination of mutilated currency for possible redemption each year, with an estimated value in excess of $35 million.

While we don’t know if they will be able to recover all of it, we CAN be sure that little Leo may get hit with a bill when he turns 18!

So me and my wife had been saving up to pay for our @Utah_Football tickets in cash. We pulled our money out yesterday to pay my mom for the season… Well we couldn’t find the envelope until my wife checked the shredder. Yup. 2 year old shredded $1,060. pic.twitter.com/93R9BWAVDE
