Lucky Green Armchair

 In the early seventies, I once lived in this house that had an upper bedroom that had access to the attic of the house. I used to go upstairs and play in this room all the time. There was a big ugly green upholstered armchair with big saddle arms in the room. I happened to be sitting on this hideous chair one day and put my hand down the back of the chair. I felt something hard and smooth and pulled the items out. It was coins. I found lots of quarters in that big old armchair that day. In those days that was lots of spending money for a seven year old kid. I was ecstatic because I was able to walk to the corner store and buy lots of candy and some toys too. Then there was another day I decided to go upstairs to this room and see if I could find more coins in this lucky green chair. To my amazement, I did manage to dig more coins out of the chair. It almost seemed magical because I thought I had cleaned all the coins from the chair previously. How could more coins just keep coming from that armchair! It seemed almost kind of magical to me at the time. This occurrence of finding pocket change in the chair happened numerous times. I always regularly checked that big lucky green armchair for money till one day the magic of it all seemed to suddenly disappear and there were no more coins to be excavated from the chair. However, as long as it lasted, I enjoyed having a little extra money to spend at the corner store to indulge in some treats, toys and kids jewelry. As a young child it was like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. It was a fun and exciting while it lasted but realistically there was obviously someone that kept refilling the back of the armchair with coins so I would find them. To this day, I really don't know who it was.
