Jake and Jackie Learn about Basic Banking
By Beth Beutler 		  
1     Jake and Jackie were bored. They were over Jake's house and just when they'd hoped to go outside, a rain storm started. So, they wandered into Jake's mom's home office.
 
2     "What are you doing, Mom?" Jake asked.
 
3     "I'm balancing the checkbook."
 
4     Jackie looked at Jake's mom quizzically. "What does that mean?"
 
5     "Well, I am making sure that my records match what the bank says I have in our account."
 
6     "Do you have to do that a lot?"
 
7     "I do it once a month, when the printout comes in the mail."
 
8     "I've never understood how checking accounts work," Jackie replied.
 
9     "Would you like to learn?" Jake's mom asked.
