Mitsy and Milda

[Sonny]

Mitsy and Milda were talking about their grandchildren after the holidays.

 

Mitsy 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.”

 

Milda 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 Mitsy. “I wish mine would do that.”

 

“You can, Mitsy, you can.”

 

“How?” Mitsy asked.

 

“Simple,” Milda replied.

 

“Do what I do: Don’t sign the check”.
