Want a game too much
Sent in by Aaron Krabbe
Once I really wanted a Game Boy. I recently graduated from the eighth
grade. With the money I received, my grandmother made me put it in the
bank. So on the day after graduation when school was out, I hurried to
the bank when my parents were at work. The bank teller asked if I
was allowed to take money out. I said yes. To make her believe it more I
also told her I needed the money for a Florida vacation. She gave me
the money, and off I went to the toy store across the street. There I
purchased a Game Boy, the games Paper Boy, and Pokemon (the red one),
and a Game Boy Game Shark. The total came out to 111.18. With my $150
I withdrew I had plenty, and more left over. Well I went home and
played Pokemon for 2 hours which was a really cool game. Later my mom
came home and caught me red handed. She marched me right up to the toy
store and I got a refund. Then to the bank. I was petrified that we
would come face to face to the teller that I did business with. My mom
didn't know I lied to the bank. So I hurried into the bank and filled out
a deposit slip with the money I got back. The teller was open for
business, but I waited in line for another teller. It worked. The new teller
said "May I help you?"I handed her the deposit slip to the lady with my
head turned away from the previous teller. My mom told the teller she
didn't want a 14 year old to be withdrawing from the bank. The teller
changed the account to a guardian account and we went out of the bank.
Phew!!! Then to my surprise my mom pulled up to the toy store and handed
me 15 bucks. "Go get yourself a squirt gun," she said. Just don't say
anything about any of this to your father. We laughed and went home.
Now she doesn't trust me to stay in our house so I have to spend 4 hours
every day for five days a week at my grandmas. That is until she can trust me.
