I was reading an advice column in a magazine, Women First(or something like that,) and a woman asked, "The other day, a credit card offer appeared in the mail. There would be nothing unusual about this, except, it was addressed to my five year old son! Should I be worried?" I, Janice Johnson, started laughing when I read the question.
But, the advice columnist didn't find the question funny at all. The AC suggested that the woman's son may be a target of identity theft and to google her child immeadiately and see if he was being a victim of Identity Theft. Only a person who is not a mother(or a father) would find a five year old getting credit card offers to be funny. What the AC suggested was no laughing matter. IT is a very serious issue.

totally off topic, but this reminds me of a '7th Heaven' episode i saw when Happy, the dog got a credit card. lol.
anyways, to prove why my future kids will need therapy in there adult years, i thought it was funny, too. i would've thought it was a mistake and had sent it back. glad this woman looked into it. |

The magazine is just called, "First", because I found the magazine on my table at home.
