Norma and Sonia were talking about their grandchildren after the holidays: Norma said.
“My daughter-in-law stopped making my grandchildren send their ‘thank you’ notes. Each year I sent the grandchildren a card with a generous check inside. I always received a lovely `thank you’ note. However, since my daughter-in-law stopped making the grandkids send thank you notes, I never hear from them.” Sonia said.
“My daughter-in-law never made the grandchildren send `thank you’ notes. I too send them a very generous check. However, for the past several years, I hear from them within a week after they receive it. In fact, they each pay me a personal visit.” “Wow.” Remarked Norma.
“I wish mine would do that.” “You can, Norma, you can.”
“How?” Norma asked.
“Simple. Do what I do. Don’t sign the check.”
