Dear Children of My Brothers,

Watch this video and realize exactly what gets you favored grandchild status.  And, you know, could it hurt to write to your aunts or uncles?  If you write thank you notes, you get gifts the next year…I’m just sayin’.  We’re modern folk, and all have email and accept email just as easily as handwritten cards with stamps.  Oh, and Hallmark, they have free e-cards.  Again, I’m just sayin’.  Really, who am I to worry about you getting more holiday/birthday gifts in the future.  Perhaps you decided years ago that the thank you part was too troublesome, so you decided to forgo the gifts.  That’s perfectly fine, as long as you aren’t wondering why you don’t get gifts anymore. 

Updated: Whoops, I got this from YouTube, I no longer have any bubbes.  But yes, this woman does look and sound amazing for being over 100.

1. She’s over 100?!? Get outta here.  That’s awesome.  Good for you guys!

2. Am I sensing some bitterness here, Flippy? I’d ask you more about it, but I have thank you cards to write . . .

3. Sorry, Shelly, I didn’t mean for anyone to think this was my bubbe.  I’ve updated the entry.  And my nieces & nephews just call my mom “Grandma”, how dull.

   roro, bitter no longer.  I’ve saved plenty of money by no longer buying for the nieces & nephew who don’t say thank you.    I don’t profess to understand such self-defeating behavior, but by all means, if they don’t want any gifts, I have no trouble hanging on to the cash.
