Thinking this week about banking......Remembering my first checking account. When I went to college I opened an account . I had NO idea how to use a check register. So.. I took colored pencils every month and colored in all those little squares in very pretty little patterns. I had no idea how much money I had but I had the prettiest checkbook around!
When my daughter and son in law graduated from college they moved to Columbus. They only had one car and it was in for repair. They called me and asked if I could take them to the bank so they could open an account. So I picked them up and took them to the bank. I sat in the waiting area but I could hear everything that went on. The banker asked them what they would like to do. They said they wanted to open up 6 accounts!! One joint checking and savings and each wanted an individual checking and savings! Then the banker asked them how much they wanted to deposit.. "Fifty dollars," they said. "Oh, fifty in each account?" "No, fifty dollars total!" I honestly though I was going to explode trying not to laugh!! But then to top it all off, my son in law says very sincerely to the banker. "By the way do you take cash?"
