Thank you

I went to the kids' school Valentine's Day parties on Friday. As I was signing in, the principal waved me over.

Her: do you have one minute? I have a funny Amelia story to tell you.
Me: I always have time for a funny Amelia story.
Her: we handed out prizes for the science fair participants today and the kids were called down to the office to pick up their awards.
Me: wonderful!
Her: yes! I could tell Amelia was excited about hers. Here is the funny part: not even 10 minutes later, I heard a little voice in the outer office delivering me a letter. I wasn't busy, so I stuck my head out the door and it was Amelia. She was delivering me a thank you note for her award. The letter said something like:

Dear Dr so and so,

Thank you so much for the science fair award. It is my favorite award I have ever gotten! I love it so much! Thank you for giving it to me.

Amelia



This story, of course, cracks me up because it is so very Amelia. She is such an amazing and wonderful girl!

The principal then went on to say other lovely things about Amelia and our family. She concluded by saying that she could see we were raising our kids well and doing a good job because they know they need to write a thank you note when they receive something.

I thanked her vey much and decided not to point out that both of the children I am raising won an award for their science fair project and only one of them wrote a thank you note.
