Over-read

Background (names and numbers have been changed to preserve our bank account)
Sometimes life requires the memorization of numbers. In order to help Rachel remember them when occasion permits, I like to let her use a trick that has always helped me—i.e. associate the numbers with a famous athlete's number.

Example:
Rachel: "What's my new PIN for my checking card?"

Me: "It's easy just remember Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher."

Rachel: "I can't even remember those names let alone a number that they mean."

Me: "Just trust me."

So today I got a text from Rachel.

Rachel: Do you remember my new PIN? All I can remember is that it is a football player's number and it might have a 5 in it.

I busted. Up laughing.
