Childhood Expectations

While babysitting, Sister L hears Kid B saying, "Gosh, I wish my mom would write me notes on my lunch napkins."

Sister L asks Kid B where she got that idea, and Kid B says, "Well, sometimes my friends' moms write nice notes on their lunch napkins like 'I love you' and things like that."

Sister L tips this off to the child's mom, and Mommy G thinks it will be a cute surprise to write her notes on her lunch napkins.  So she writes her notes.

Next day, Mommy G asks her daughter, "So did you enjoy your lunch?"

Kid B says, "Mommy, can you never write me notes again?  I thought I would like it, but it was really embarrassing."
