Oh The Thrill


Stephen has been working at Kentucky Fried Chicken for about a year and a half now and gets quite a few hours. He's worked the line, drive through, registers and clean up and his uniform is permanently chicken stinkin. Awhile back he opened a bank account and deposits most of his money with the exception of the purchase of a few video games or gallon gulps of soda. (Both are disgusting but he's 17) He's accumulated a nice size pile of money. A few days ago we all went to the opening of a GameStop in our town - not my idea- and Steven wanted to get three games and two controllers (to replace the ones that Troy had destroyed while he lived here. Troy believed that if you didn't win you should throw the controller to the floor. At least it made him feel better about losing.) Steven hadn't brought his debt card and James said he would lend him the money till we got home. Nobody likes to write checks and pay bills but this was Steven's first ever. After a short "how to" lesson, he presented us with his perfectly written check and a huge, very proud of his self grin. Just wait, real life will wipe that smile off your face!

This is so cute -
but just FYI - if you click on the picture and enlarge it - you can totally read his account number.
If you want - I can use photoshop to blur it out - you may want to do that - at least with the pic on your blog - especially after telling us what a pile of money the kid has!

I would suggest taking the picture down, it can be smoothed out so the numbers can be seen. Just a suggestion :-) Being in the business, I trust no one for good reason.

Well, that is something to be proud of. It is nice to see a young person learning to be responsible and productive. Good on him....and on you and dad. :)
