A version to brighten your day ...

I have this note pinned up on my bulletin board. Because it makes me smile every time I walk past.

It's from Eliza's friend Abby. In case you misplaced your specs on top of your noggin, here's what it says: 

"Dear Eliza

Thank you for the doll stuff. [She means this.] 

I have the other vergen. [She means this, um, version.]"

Look at the drawing of "you" and "me." Can you tell which is the vergen and which is the other vergen? 

Neither can I. But it sure is fun to try! 

I showed Abby's mom the note one day and she pretty much fell on the ground laughing. 

And the moral of the story is ... make sure your kids write their own thank-you notes!
