I was a very proud father to watch him go to the counter (while I stood back and watched) and hand over his mostly completed form and tell the clerk "I need to buy a savings bond please." The clerk really played it up too, he was awesome! Watching my son (7, be 8 in September) signing the form was the best part! I put that copy in my safe, that one's a keeper!
How terrific that your son is this smart so young! Maybe we should have a new thread on justifications on savings! This would be good start!
