Me (thinking what bank still uses "books" to stamp your balance): Well, we probably cashed those out after Dad died. I think the bank would have contacted us if they were still active. Besides, you know one thousand dollars isn't a ton of money these days.
Irene: It's not ONE thousand - it's one thousand-THREE-HUNDRED.

My mother is not so good with numbers these days. In actuality, the balance could be $1.30 or $13,000. After ending the initial conversation, she called me back about 5 minutes later, which is the norm, to let me know where she has put the books. I'm guessing the accounts were probably closed years ago, but I'm curious none the less. Who wants to be a millionaire? I do.

I love these conversations with your Mother.
here's to hoping for a million bucks!
here's to hoping it's bunches of money!!!
Priceless! If it's $1 or $1,000,000 - isn't it just proof how much your dad loved you?
(OMG, the word verification is "pants" - what the hell do I know? Laughing..)
Me, too. I'm in the process of claiming "abandonded" property in my name left in the state of MA...I suspect it is a $20 bank account from when I was 8, but who knows!
