Checks In The Package

A student called up his Mom one evening from his college and asked her for some money, because he was broke.

His Mother said:

- Sure, sweetie. I will send you some money. You also left your economics book here when you visited two weeks ago. Do you want me to send that up too?

- Uhh, oh yeah, O.K. - responded the kid.

So his Mom wrapped the book along with the checks up in a package, kissed Dad goodbye, and went to the post office to mail the money and the book. When she gets back, Dad asked:

- Well how much did you give the boy this time?

- Oh, I wrote two checks, one for $20, and the other for $1,000 out to him.

- That's $1020!!! - yelled Dad.

- Are you going crazy???

- Don't worry hon - Mom said, kissed Dad on the on top of his bald head.

- I taped the $20 check to the cover of his book, but I put the $1,000 one somewhere between the pages in chapter 15!
