So yesterday I went to the local branch of my bank to deposit a check. I went inside and was immediately followed by a mother and a boy around 5 years old. As I began to work my magic at the ATM machine, I overhear the following conversation between mom and child:
Child: “Mom, what is that woman putting into the machine?”
Mom: “I think she’s making a deposit.”
Child: “What’s a deposit?”
Mom: “It’s when you put money in the machine that then goes to your bank account.”
Child: “Are we going to make a deposit?”
Mom: “No, we are waiting to take money out of the machine. That’s called a withdrawal.”
Child: “We’re going to take money out of the machine?”
Mom: “Yes.”
Child: “Why don’t we just trade with that lady?”
Gotta love the logic of kids!
