“Mom, do you want to know what I’m making for you at school for Mother’s Day?”
“Isn’t it supposed to be a secret?”
“Well, I can tell you, if you really want to know.”
“OK.”
“I’m making you a candle. And I’m writing you a letter.”
“That’s nice. Letters are my favorite.”
“I wrote about how thankful I am that you take care of me, how you feed me, and all kinds of stuff like that. Mine’s a really short letter. Some kids have really LONG letters, but I know you don’t have time to sit around and read all that…so, I just made mine real short.”
“That is AWESOME. I’m sure I’ll savor every word.”
It’s so good that he’s keeping your time in mind! I love little kid’s outlook on things:)
Oh my gosh, Jack told me the EXACT same thing today!!! I swear we had this exact conversation. He asked if I wanted him to tell me what he was making me for Mother’s Day and I told him I thought it was supposed to be secret. Then, he told me about the candles AND that he wrote me a letter but it was really short. How funny is that??
I love how practical he is. Such a thoughtful boy.
There must be a run on candles and letters as presents. Thoughtful boy you have, not wanting to waste your precious time.
