What happens when you leave a 2-year-old and a paper shredder with $1,000 in Utah season ticket money

Fortunately, the school extended a hand afterward.

This family of Utah Utes fans has a bit of dilemma on its hands:

It’s the classic danger every family worries about first when it buys a paper shredder and has small children in the house: what happens if the small child takes the money you were planning to use to buy season tickets for your Pac-12 football team of choice, then runs that money through a paper shredder and leaves your financing in taggers in Week 6.

While this is a devastating fate for $1,060 to meet, good on the Utes themselves for seeing a family in crisis and extending a helping hand during their hour of need:

The family was, indeed, working on getting its money back, apparently from the U.S. Treasury. And a bunch of people who saw the tweet offered to help in some way, so the guy who tweeted the photo of the shredded paper sent out this charitable link:

It seems everything’s worked out.
