Although, I do have more appreciation for my mother as time goes on. She was the master check floater until payday. These days you can't get away with it as much, but back then you had 7-10 days before they cleared and she was good at robbing peter to pay paul. I can recall when they had $18 in their checking account, but somehow made Birthdays happen.
Your family had 18$??? Damn, you had it made, Mr. Silver Spoon. Hell, we didn't even have spoons.
