Money From Mom

A student had spent all his money, so he called his mother from college and asked if she could send him some.

Mom said:

- Of course, I'll send you some money, dear.

- By the way, you left your calculus book here when you visited last month. Would you like me to send that to you too?

Ummmmm, oh yeah, OK Mom - the boy replied.

So, Mom wrapped the book, together with the checks, kissed Dad goodbye and went to the post office to mail the parcel. When she returned, Dad asked:

- So, how much did you send him this time?

- I wrote two checks, one for $20, and the other for $1000 - Mom replied.

- Have you lost your mind? - Dad exclaimed.

- That's $1020!

- Not to worry - Mom said calmly, as she kissed the top of Dad's head.

- I taped the $20 check to the cover of his book, but I put the $1000 check somewhere between the pages in Chapter 19!
