“Ok GG have fun at Brownies. Daddy’s picking you up later. Don’t forget to bring your coat home.”
“I’m back Mummy…!”
“Did you remember your coat?”
“No…”
There were remonstrations, there was screaming and yelling at the unfairness of having to remember everything! And there was the penance of having to go to bed and ‘think’ about how I might remember better next time. I went to bed. Mummy finished reading to the Bug. As she left her room, there was this, just outside the door:
And that isn’t even the funniest thing! When she came to ask why I’d complained about not being allowed to go on Movie Star Planet (my latest online craze) when it was always bedtime straight after Brownies, I giggled.
“Oh that’s because that note was one I wrote last week and never gave you. I thought it might come in handy sometime…”

Classic!
Thanks Rebecca, I seriously need to visit your blog soon and maintain my top commenters! 😉
Loving it – as always – she is a very articulate little thing your GG, no idea where she gets THAT from… 😉
*looks shifty*
Hahaaa!! She is very efficient and practical (even when she forgets her coat!)
Most geniuses are a bit daft somewhere along the line, no?
What fabulous forward planning there, love it! 🙂
It always pays to hoard 😉
Love it! But I am glad you explained what movie star planet is – I have so much to learn!
Take my advice and steer clear for as long as possible!
She is very clever!
Thank you – I think…
Love this post! I like a girl who plans ahead!
Even if the detail was slightly off… 😉
Love it! Particularly like the use of the highlighter pen and capital letters for emphasis. Very well thought out. You’ll go far 🙂

Yes, probably too far!
What a smartypants! I love this!
Isn’t she? I wonder where all this is leading sometimes. Second thoughts, probably best not to think ahead…
Haha! All complaints shall be made in writing…
Is it national complain to you parents month (someone forgot to tell me) or am I just behaving badly at the moment – I’ve had lots of this sort of thing!
Oh dear, it could be too much bad influence from us – sorry!
I don’t know what impresses me most, the cleverness of the letter, or the fact that she wrote it last week and managed to calm her self down enough not to give you until the next time you upset her.
Yes – that’s the really scary bit!
Haha, love this! And I love the comment above about the excellent use of highlighter. She will go far with these excellent writing skills, as eloquent as ever.
OMG – that is HILARIOUS. lol x I love it!
Oh my goodness, your daughter is absolutely priceless! I can only imagine what career she will choose when she grows up!
Teacher? Barrister? Prison guard? Boot camp terrier?
Ahahaha pure genius!
I completely sympathise as I often forget stuff as I have so much to remember too.
It drives me bonkers that no matter what the weather my kids head out coatless and I’m expected to remember coats for them all because they say “you never told us to put our coats on”!!! To be it is pretty obvious when there is frost outside but apparently they still want to be told that they will need their coat.
This has also given me an idea…I think i will also remember to save some of the kids notes in case they come in handy in future like when they write me a note to apologise and promise to never do/say something again and then they do! x
Lol we could all just communicate with “here’s one I made earlier” notes!
She does make me chuckle!!!!
oh mummy aren’t you silly ha ha ha ha
I probably shouldn’t have laughed…..But I did! And I shouldn’t because I have a pretty strong feeling I will be sharing things like this in 8 years time from my own girly.
Thanks for linking up with See It Snap It Love It. X
Oh I’m sure of it – us girls are rather more complicated than the lads 🙂
Popped over to link this week but had a #technofail there and frustratingly can’t see the witty response of GG as #technofail there too! Got gist of joke I think but feel as though am missing punchline – shucks. Will come back next week when my stars are in alignment or something!
Oh that’s a shame! It looks fine from over here – thanks for trying anyway.
My little big man decided in burst into the bathroom brandishing a NEF gun shouting “Put up your hands!”. Since I was a bit indisposed this wasn’t possible so I got the reply “I’m gonna take you down!!!!” Charming…….
Yep – they take no prisoners, these little terrorists!
Pure. Genius!!
Oh hilarious! I can so identify with these, and I’ve seen many a similar note on my daughter’s bedroom door too 😉
Thank God! I thought it was just us!
lol hilarious, what a little smarty pants. xxx
Oh that has just made me giggle so much! Keeping in for a “rainy day” just in case it came in useful! What a brilliant note 🙂 (And also thankful you explained what Movie Star Planet is!)
Thank you for linking up! XX
that is so funny! and how very clever! oh girls, what are they like??!!
Well I know what mine is like, and I can tell you it’s a good job there’s just the one of her 😉
It’s brilliant how clever kids are! 🙂 x
This is so funny, I used to get similar notes from my son lol
