Last year I took him to the bank to authorize the release of my niece’s funds that he had been saving for her since she was a new born with the expectation that she would receive the funds upon her high school graduation.

After he signed the form authorizing the release of the funds to her, my granddad jumped up from the desk, ran to the teller, crossed his legs, leaned into the window, pulled his pension check from his billfold and told the teller he wanted to cash it.

The teller asked granddad for his ID and how did he want to receive his money. Granddad handed the teller his ID and said CASH would be fine. My niece laughed until she cried.
