i am a swan
Filed Under (Family Ties) by Colleen

Tonight when I got home with my new haircut, my middle child, who is normally a very sweet, very “attached to Mommy” little girl, made a not so nice remark about it…she was teasing, but I still let her know it wasn’t nice. I was surprised when I came to my computer later and found a sealed envelope sitting on of my keyboard – and the envelope had a little “kiss” on it (I guess she used her play makeup to do that!)

Anyway, here’s the note, complete with her horrible spelling:

Dear Mommy,

I’m sorry that I said “your hair was hidous”!! After that I went up to my room and thought about it and now I think you are beatiful with it like that. I said that because at first I thought that it look weird. And bad but now it is like the ugly ducking growing into a swan!! So I hope you acept my apologs.

Love: Grace
To: Mommy

I ask you – who could resist a note like that?

I’m cracking up that Grace even said that in the first place!!! LOL! Nice note, though. :-)

That is so sweet!! I’m glad she realized her error. It sounds like she didn’t really want to offend you in any way!

[...] Colleen asserts that I am a Swan at Simple Kind of Life, and it’s true: she really is. [...]

Visiting via the carnival and I got a good laugh. That note is great! I’d keep it for the good stuff file if I was you. Someday she will be so embarassed that she wrote that!

Oh, I love stuff like this! I’ve kept many such momentos from my son’s younger years and I treasure them all. What a sweet and thoughtful child you’re raising!

Great story! You’ll have to keep that for when she’s older.
