Boy's First Check
Danny got a checking account over a year ago. When a new client came out with a series of fun checks, Danny wanted to get the John Deere checks. He had not really had a reason to have checks, and really won't need them until school.
I ordered them over the web for him and had to guess at the layout of numbers at the bottom, since he never had checks before. We did a test. It worked. He's now ready to start giving his money to Spring Hill. (And yes, I refunded the $5 test to him but I used electronic funds transfer. Much easier.)

I got my own checking account this summer. I've never used a check except for sending $3 to kellog's for a Star Wars poster.

I didn't get a checking account until I went to college. The nice thing about that is that banks usually give college students a good deal on their checking accounts. It was with Tennessee's Third National Bank (I never found out what happened to the first two) featuring Tammy the all-time teller.

Actually it was Tammy, the Timeless Teller. I can still rememeber the silly jingle.
