Mom: It's tradition...something people have done before.

Kid: What if it was stupid before?

Mom: It's not...

Kid: Can I throw some coins in?

Mom: No.

Kid: Why?

I've wondered about that too, WTF is throwing coins into a fountain about? And whatever it was about it seems stupid today? People used to eat soup with spoons. That mean we should do it now?

The true art of tossing in a coin is to bounce it off the head of another bystander and have them believe it was an accident.
