She stormed out of the bank manager's office, crying "Goodbye, accrual world!"

Sentence: As an only child in an adult's body, the 30 year old banking prodigy Gerry Meander loved his job in global finance.

Mother just kept on giving. And, as he became expert in answering his own questions, job self satisfaction was always guaranteed. So much so, Gerry founded his own bank "FannyMayiYesiMay". And it was so, Simple Simon said.
