When honesty stinks
Yesterday I had $170 to deposit into my checking account. While we were out running errands we stopped at the bank. I sent in my deposit and when I got my deposit slip back I looked at it and saw it said $1,700.00! Boy oh boy - what I could do with that extra money she put into my account. But of course I did what any honest person would and sent it back and notified the teller of her mistake. When the girls questioned why we weren't leaving I used it as an opportunity to teach them about the right thing to do.
But on my way to my next stop I couldn't help but daydream about what I could have spent that money on and feel a little disappointed that I had to give it back.

it would have been nice to have that unexpected extra money, but just know that you did the right thing!
