Grandma is sitting in front of me. She is writing me a check. It is huge, more than she has
ever given me.
$1,500, I'm in awe. I examine the check. In the memo she has written: for charity. What? Am I a
charity? Does she really want to label me like that? What can I call her, a
patron? I would rather stick to grandma. Well, I guess she classified me as a charity so she could write a
large check. She pulls out a second check, it only has my friends first name written on it.
No last name,
no monetary amount, nothing. She tells me that she was unsure about how to
spell his last name, and couldn't decide on how much money to give him. A blank check, I get really
excited! Oh, what I could do with a blank check. Now, I just to convince her to write him a
huge check too.
