One Michigan mom got the surprise of her life when her 7-year-old son, Daxon, burst through the door after school yelling, “I got $200!” Forget snack time, this kid came home ready to make it rain. Of course, the story behind how the child got cash while spending the day at his elementary school had the internet rolling in laughter.
Daxon’s mother obviously had a lot of questions when the little Michigan student had two crisp $100 bills in his hand. He later explained that he got the money from his recess buddy, RJ, who seemingly forked over the cash casually during playtime.
Naturally, Mom’s mom-radar kicked into overdrive. “Who did you get that from?” she asked. “RJ, my friend,” Daxon replied, totally unaware that most adults don’t just hand out hundreds before lunch. His mom immediately wondered what every parent would: does RJ’s mom even know about this?

However, as soon as Daxon realized his unexpected windfall might not be sticking around, he started backpedaling. Maybe it was fake money, he suggested hopefully. His mom shut that down fast telling him it was very real cash. “I don’t know what kids do nowadays,” she said, confused by the entire situation.
The story comes courtesy of Daxon’s big sister, who posted the hilarious scene on TikTok. The internet was instantly obsessed with this mini money mystery, and she later shared a follow-up video to explain what went down. Turns out, RJ wasn’t just being generous with Daxon. He also handed $200 to another classmate, Isaac. According to Daxon, RJ told him, “Here you go, because I missed your birthday.” Sweet, yes. Sensible? Not exactly.
When asked where RJ got the cash, Daxon guessed it came from his friend’s “piggybank,” which might be the understatement of the year. His sister couldn’t stop laughing and summed up everyone’s thoughts perfectly: “Who just has four loose $100 bills laying around?” Daxon’s deadpan response was simply, “RJ.”

“Where’s RJ right now? I need $200,” one person joked in the comment section. “RJ’s mom wondering where her rent money went off to,” said another. “You can see the moment he decides he’s not telling you next time,” a third person added. “Bros like mom ur really killing the vibe right now,” a fourth comment read.
In the end, both Daxon’s mom and Isaac’s mom did what any responsible parent would. They packed up the money, sent it back to school in an envelope, and let the Michigan teachers handle the awkward part. Still, it leaves one big question hanging in the air: where did RJ get that much cash, and does his mom know she’s apparently raising a tiny philanthropist?
