Merry happy Christmas

Conversation overheard between Big Sister Morgan and McKenzie at grandparents' Christmas party, after Grandpa distributed cards with checks in them:

McKenzie: Do you have an account?

Morgan: Yes.

McKenzie: Then give your checks to Dad.

Conversations like these make me nostalgic for the days when money was just a gift we saved to spend on useful things like bicycles, pet tamugachis, and college.
