And speaking of Bookmobiles..Do you remember....

The weekly bank days? Actually I cannot even recall the true name for this Thursday event. (ah yes, remembering the "bookmobile" has caused a plethora of memories to come flooding back).
At the grade school I attended, we had a little envelope which we would bring to school every Thursday with money in it. Upon being told, we would proceed to hand it to our teacher, who would, I presume, take them to the bank, deposit the funds in our "accounts" and return the envelope (and little savings book which was always inside the envelope) to us, to be returned the following Thursday.

What's funny is the one thing that I can recall so clearly, upon recalling the event at all, is that when I was in first grade, I remember this one boy, who was in the same class as I, telling me that he would give me his money if I would take off my clothes!! Stupid me...I said no! (what was I thinking? Money? NO?) Maybe it is good he didn't ask me when I was an adult! Hee Hee
