[SLB]

My dad owned a small farm and a large farm implement business. I was employed and receiving a paycheck at 13 as dad believed in work and also payment for that work. My kids and even older friends of ours, are really surprised when I show them my social security statement that starts when I was 13.

Mine starts at 14, mainly because all the farm work was paid in cash.

I remember getting paid a "WHOLE DOLLAR" for working a day in the tobacco fields dropping sticks as a kid (I think I was 5 or 6).

I had it spent five times in my mind before I got home riding my bicycle. (8^D)
