This assignment is to reminisce about forging signatures.

I really don’t remember attempting to forge signatures when I was a kid.  I was a very honest child with a powerful conscience.  I was more afraid of doing the wrong thing than trying to avoid consequences for actual mistakes.  I did cheat on grading a peer’s quiz one time in exchange for her cheating for me.  It turned out I made a 100% legitimately and did not need her help.  She would have failed, though, and needed my fake assistance.  She broke down and told the teacher, though, and I got in trouble.

My children attempted forgeries, poorly done I might add, when they were in school.  One was my son signing his father’s name in pencil and erasing multiple times to try to get it right.  I don’t remember what it was…probably a note getting permission to leave school early or something.

I did sign my ex-husband’s name a ton back when we were married.  All of our documents, paperwork, his checks to put in the bank, anything bill related, school stuff for the kids.  He didn’t like doing any of that, so always just asked me to take care of it.  I got pretty good at signing his name fairly close to the way he did.  I guess it was forgery, except that I had his permission, so…it was just his laziness turned forgery on my part.
