I've been thinking about this meri christine blow out now for the last 2 days , listen to this theory
I figured something didn't add up when christine mentions in the people article , telling meri not to come downstairs anymore , the relationship is done .
If this 10 cents happened at 8 years old , we are talking 2004 , they lived in a house in powell wy at that time not an appartment. How does christine tell 32 year old meri to stay upstairs forever , she isn't a teen you can lock in her bedroom.
Then i remember mykelti not getting a claddagh ring for bad behaviour at 12 . This was 2008 , they moved to the lehi appartment 2007 . This would make more sense timeline wise .
We also have christine saying something happened between her and meri that destroyed their relationship right before the show started . Mykelti turned 12 june 2008 , the show started end 2009 . It is strange that meri would be so mad at 10 cents , the store knew they were poor , my gut feeling tells me something else happened .what could be so bad to not get a ring
