It’s in the Mail, er- Garbage
// 8.30.06 // Filed under: My Daughter, Parenting
I made a nice birthday card from my Grandma the other day. I put it at the bottom of the stairs so I would remember to bring it up to the office and put postage on it.
Today I suddenly remembered that I never mailed the card and, in fact, had not seen it since I put it on the stairs. I wandered into the office, just to make sure PHAT Daddy had taken care of it. “No, I didn’t see it,” he told me.
I searched the house to no avail. I began to suspect foul play, so I checked the garbage.
There it was, under the leftover dinner scraps.
So, dear Grandma, your birthday card will be late because your great-granddaughter – yes, the one I named after you – has thrown your card in the garbage.

We Did It!
Today I am 40






















Alright, so scrape off the coffee grinds and the pencil shavings and mail it to poor ol’ granny. Believe me, she’ll understand. Between being a Mom, Grandma, and Great-Grandma, there’s a lot of experience with this same sort of thing. And many other things we haven’t experienced yet with our tweens! OMG, THAT’S scary!! LOL!
