Ties in the Offering Basket

My boys were wearing ties for the service on Christmas Eve. They never wear them, so it was a fun novelty. Jason was on stage leading the congregation in giving tithes and offerings. He said the usual, "...put the tithes in the offering basket as it goes by..." When the basket came to our aisle Caleb turns to me and said, "Daddy said we are supposed to put our ties in the offering basket." It took me a minute and I began laughing uncontrollably. I know the ushers were concerned.
