First Scottish Bank of Burnet

Last night husband and I took the rare opportunity to go out to dinner together on our own with no children. After the initial sense of being at a loss for words due to the unusual chance to speak to eachother without constant interruption we had a lovely meal. After our meal we made a quick trip to my favorite ATM.

How can you have a favorite ATM you may ask? Well, my ATM not only dispenses money with ease and efficiency but when it speaks to me, you know, phrases such as "Please enter your pin number now", it does so in a lovely, soothing Scottish accent! I have no idea why a bank in Burnet, Texas would have a Scottish female voiceover but it does and everyone in my family loves it! There is always an expectant hush in the car as we breathlessly wait to hear Jeannie (or whatever Scottish name you care to substitute) give us the next instruction. As this 'north of the borders' voice calmly tells us what to do, everyone in my car choruses back the words in their best pseudo-Scottish voice.

Thank you First Scottish Bank of Burnet! It is worth paying an extra $2 for using a bank not my own just for this moment of pure entertainment. I can't wait for the day when my kiddoes meet a real Scot. They'll expect him or her to hand over wads of cash!
