Biscuit's big bucks

Well, Biscuit is rich ... or at least on his way to being rich someday.

We started a savings account for him today.

He is an official member of the Kirby Kangaroo Club. That's what they call the savings accounts for kids 12 and younger.

He has a passbook and an official membership card. He also got a little baseball and a cardboard folder with slots for quarters, so he can fill it up, then deposit it into his account.

When I was a kid, our bank had dime kitties. They were cardboard folders shaped like kittens that had slots for dimes. I guess kids have more money these days. They can go for the big bucks and start with quarters.

Biscuit doesn't understand any of this, of course, but as he gets older, I hope he can learn how to budget and save his money. Hopefully, it'll be a good lesson for him.

Plus, if Biscuit can save enough money through the years, Jeff and I might get to live in one of the NICE nursing homes!
