2. well my mom could be a president by mittens definition

let`s see...started doing the books for a man who sold his own brand of shampoo in the late 30`s. after the war they started expanding their product line and selling other brands. by the mid 50`s they were covering an ever expanding territory which now included barber and beauty shops. during this time my mother did the books,paid the bills,and made sure every cent was counted for. by the time she retired in the early 90`s the business was close to 25 million. her job at the end of her career was making sure the accountants were keeping the books balanced.

not bad for a woman that had no formal training in accounting,worked on and off while working the job i described. oh yes she also raised three kids and a my dad.

to bad she`s not around to tell mittens a thing or two about balancing books
