thank-you note

Sam had to write his thank-you notes for his birthday gifts recently (he's just turned 8). Mom directed him to personalize them, say something about each gift. He did quite well, saying things like this: "Dear Nate, thank you for the present. I really like it. You are a true friend." My favorite, however, is the one he wrote to Isabelle thanking her for the gift card she got for the Oakland A's: "Dear Isabelle, thank you for the A's gift card. I do not know where it is. From, Sam."

Fortunately, Mom knows where it is.
