Grandma’s Christmas Strategy One Christmas, a mother decided she
was no longer going to remind her children to send thank you notes.
Consequently, the kids’ grandmother never received any thanks for the
Christmas checks she sent to the children.
The following Christmas, all the
children stopped by grandma’s in person to thank her for their checks. When
asked by a friend what caused this change in behavior, the grandmother
replied, “Simple, this year I didn’t sign the checks.”
