On May 1st a check was born. Alas, like an unbaptized soul in Limbo, it has not reached check heaven. Check heaven is a place of great joy for birthday checks because there it can reach its full potential. No longer folded upon itself, ashamed to show its worth; it is free to pay bills, pay down debt, buy things you need or even to swell the balance of your checking or savings accounts. It could even be earning interest! Don’t let it suffer any longer. Free the little birthday check.

I like this mom!
May 14, 2009 at 3:02 pm
I concur, clever mom and I like her! I feel like liberating that birthday check! If only I had it.
May 14, 2009 at 3:08 pm
Nice! Now I know where the birthday checks go that I write my sisters that take months to resurface…Check Limbo. I like that.
May 14, 2009 at 3:17 pm
LOLOLOL. Too funny. I just got a call last nite about a WEEK OLD check. I’m just glad my dad hasn’t seen this. ;D
May 14, 2009 at 3:38 pm
OMG this is PFYM GOLD!
We need more postcards like this. Thanks to submitter and mom.
May 14, 2009 at 3:59 pm
this mom is great!!! What a great way of letting child know that she needs to get that b-day check cashed as mom is checking her bank account.
May 14, 2009 at 4:08 pm
Mom, is that you?
I think my Mom has a secret family she hasn’t told me about. Now I know what she’s off doing when she’s not jerking my chain.
May 14, 2009 at 5:15 pm
LOL, this was so cute and funny. Best post in days!
May 14, 2009 at 6:11 pm
Priceless, thanks for this one!

Free that birthday check, indeed! I don’t think I’ve ever waited more than twenty-four hours to deposit a check that was given to me. But then, I’ve only been out of college for a year. When I get checks, they are always desperately needed.

I am horrible about when people give me checks. The problem for me though is that I live in a different state than my bank. (I have a state bank and had tio move in the military). I hate when people send me checks because I have to then mail them to my mom and get her to deposit them for me. …but at the same time I hate when people hold my checks forever, if its a large amount of money.
May 15, 2009 at 10:08 am
I’m slightly embarrassed to admit that this never happens to me because I still have a joint checking account with my Mom that she can put money in if she wants to give me some. I’m not telling how old I am…
May 15, 2009 at 10:19 am
This Mom is awesome! She is also good at gardening.
May 15, 2009 at 11:41 am
I agree that this is one of the best posts ever! Nagging, yet not seeming so. I love this mom!
May 15, 2009 at 12:40 pm
So cute and clever.
