Nina turned in the checks and the school dutifully cashed them; always within a couple days of receiving them.<\/p>\n<p>However, by late May, something was definitely amiss. For some strange reason, the checks for March and April were still uncashed. Why did the school suddenly stop cashing them?<\/p>\n<p>Well, after firing off an email to the color guard&#8217;s treasurer, she told us that she emptied the lock box daily and cashed the checks as they came in. She also assured us that she never received the March or April checks.<\/p>\n<p>Now, assuming the checks were lost, we could notify the bank and issue a couple of stop payment orders. However, my intuition was that the checks <strong><em>weren&#8217;t<\/em><\/strong> lost. As such I was willing to take my chances and pass. Besides, at $20 per transaction, that was <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id631-tired-of-money-heres-101-alternatives.html\">a lot of scratch<\/a>. Why waste it if we weren&#8217;t absolutely positive those checks could fall into nefarious hands.<\/p>\n<p>Since two checks were missing, the Honeybee and I figured it was reasonable to infer that, logically, the problem was most-likely traceable to Nina.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, when we asked her if she may have forgot to deliver the March and April checks, she gave her mom an emphatic, &#8220;No!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you sure?&#8221; the Honeybee asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Very sure!&#8221; Nina implored. &#8220;I absolutely remember putting <strong><em>both<\/em><\/strong> checks in the lock box!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you positive?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe the checks are still in your backpack?&#8221; the Honeybee suggested. That seemed reasonable to me. Nina&#8217;s backpack has at least a dozen zippered compartments, each one packed to the gills with everything from homework assignments and protractors to makeup and miniature stuffed animals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Impossible!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, go check anyway.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And with that, Nina stormed off in a huff. Precisely 16 seconds later, she was back.\u00a0 Upon conducting a thorough investigation of all 12 compartments in her backpack, there were no checks. Or so she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Told ya!&#8221; she said matter-of-factly.<\/p>\n<p>Uh huh.<\/p>\n<p>Later that evening, after Nina had gone to bed, the Honeybee decided to go through Nina&#8217;s backpack and give it a more thorough examination.<\/p>\n<p>Sure enough, in one of the pockets, crinkled up among all of the other flotsam and jetsam was the March check. As for the April check, it was in there too.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t blame my daughter. It&#8217;s part of growing up, after all.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m just glad we didn&#8217;t waste $40 to have our bank stop payment on those &#8220;lost&#8221; checks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">Photo Credit: Donald Lee Purdue<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>(Note: The original publication date of this article was April 25, 2012.)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wish I was as smart as my kids.
