My six-year-old son made this drawing for my parents:
If you can't read it, it says, "Dear Mimi and Pop, We love you guys so much and we will never hate you guys. I love you alot."
Then, for emphasis, he taped a beat-up old eraser next to it. Because, you know, nothing says "we will never hate you" like a beat-up old eraser.
Just warms the heart, doesn't it?
why the eraser? that is a big card. is the eraser the only "decoration"? maybe he thinks hey need it? how cute!

I totally see the Pink Pearl Company partnering with candy heart makers in a super Valentine's Day cross promotion next year. Because he's onto something. Love it.

Laughing my butt off!!!

Rolling - I love it.
My daughter made a card for her grandma with a big nasty bird feather out of the yard glued on it. I made her wash her hands a-plenty after I discovered that one.
Have a great day - we'll never hate you either. :)

Hilarious. The eraser is confusing, but just so funny.
Posted by: Anna | Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 12:32 PM
Oh, I needed a good laugh today! My 2 1/2 year old just said..."What's so funny, Momma?"

Posted by: Beth_C | Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 01:23 PM

I know Mimi and Pops will treasure this!! How sweet.
Posted by: Queen Mother | Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 02:24 PM
Now that is hilarious! My son made cards for everyone with his birthday thank you. Each picture had me pregnant. Guess what? I am not pregnant and I have no plans to be. It was starting to give me a complex ;)
Posted by: Am | Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 02:26 PM
Aw~ Look at all the work he put into it~ Now that's love!
Posted by: Girlymom | Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 03:03 PM
Very cute. One of my kids likes to tape random stuff to homemade cards, too. He says it's a "prize," a la Happy Meal.
Posted by: Marian | Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 03:26 PM
How adorable!!!!

Posted by: Melissa | Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 05:25 PM
So true! Erasers are good for that!
What a darling to write that note!

I'm Mimi, and it truly warms my heart!!! I've always wanted an eraser!!!
Posted by: mimi2six | Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 05:58 PM
That's awesome (and definitely from the heart!)
Posted by: Annette | Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 06:06 PM
Ah...it's all in the details. The eraser has a smiley face on the end. That's why he did it, I'm pretty sure. Ask him. :)

If only we adults lived as freely as a six year old! I think this is so precious.
Posted by: Missy | Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 06:31 PM

Yes, most definitely a future in Hallmark! Very funny!

What a precious message to those he loves so dearly. My "frig" door is filled with precious pictures and precocious writings from my GRANDS. They are daily reminders of the joy all four bring to my life.
Posted by: Gego | Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 08:52 PM
Love it!!! Thats to cute!
Posted by: Mrs. L | Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 09:50 PM
You know, just in case he changes his mind... Mimi and Pop better mind their ps & qs.

Oh my goodness that was too hysterical! Just what I needed to read at 6:53 in the morning!
Posted by: Happy Momma | Wednesday, January 30, 2008 at 06:53 AM
Sweet intentions. That's all that matters--and I bet they will save this letter.
Posted by: Nicki | Wednesday, January 30, 2008 at 02:04 PM
Darling, and that little smiley face on the end of the eraser. :-) Love can not be erased. Or just a little gift with no meaning. Last night, my 4 yr old gave me a "present" - an envelope with interesting things inside: a cough drop (I'm not sick), a penny, and a tiny play spatula. After thanking her profusely, I said, honey, will you go put that on my desk for me? She said, "But Mommy, how will you cook?"
Posted by: Jennifer in OR | Wednesday, January 30, 2008 at 02:21 PM
The eraser is because love ERASES everything that is bad...certainly it erases HATE. :)
That is the cutest.
Posted by: Dana | Wednesday, January 30, 2008 at 10:17 PM
It's the sweetest thing. Don't mail it unless they promise to give it back. I'd save it and look at it everytime I was ready to pull my hair out when he's a teen!
Posted by: mumple | Wednesday, January 30, 2008 at 11:55 PM
That is cute! What did Hallmark say?
Posted by: Nic | Thursday, January 31, 2008 at 05:12 AM
