Bear does his Best

We went into town and converted bear's child's account to a teen account at the bank.  I let bear listen and the lady was absolutely amazing as she explained everything to bear and gave him opportunity to take it all in.  I wish I knew more about such things.  I was taught things like, 'how to write a cheque' by my parents, but there just wasn't the same financial sweep of things then that there are now.  I suppose the best I can do is give bear an awareness of the sort of questions he should ask, as much as I know them.

When we got home I tried to explain about credit checks and how important it was to keep an eye on them.  I hope bear will retain enough that when he is older he knows to check up on what a credit check means.  He's a sensible lad. 

This afternoon was lovely.  We sat in the study.  Bear was playing Eurotruck and was talking me through all the driving involved and how to read the road signs while I sat in a chair next to him and knitted.  It was incredibly relaxing.
