My Family is Weird, Proof #4: Mom's Bank Account

This happened a few weeks ago so my memory is a bit hazy.

Mom told me she found an extra bank account under her name. Fantastic, I thought. I told her to call the bank to find out what's going on. Then an idea hit me. Withdraw the money that's in the account, then call the bank.

Being worried about identity theft, I went through my records to see if I had transferred money to the right account. I remembered I also transferred some cash to my brother's new account. Then I asked her if it was my brother's account that she was looking at. Turns out it was.

We were about to withdraw and split my brother's money. Well, it's not like he uses it anyway. I mean, it's just sitting in his account accumulating pennies. Really, I'm not trying to justify the fact that we were about to steal from an unknown account. Never. I would never do that. Almost never.
