Mama used the money wisely, which ensured we didn’t have to go to the Bank.
Everyone in the family would do something to help Nels go on to high school, so we didn’t have to draw money out of Mama’s Bank Account.
Whatever happened, we still had the Bank Account to depend upon.
There wasn’t a real bank account and Mama just wanted us to feel secure.
