Thank you notes

My mom always told me I should send out thank you notes for gifts and after job interviews. Yeah yeah... But what about thank you notes to family members, namely Caitlynn and Miles?

If I wanted to waste some paper, I could write these out longhand and mail them to the kids via the Pony Express. Instead, I'm sharing with everyone what the notes would say if I wasn't so dag-gone lazy about writing notes and too cheap to buy actual notecards for the kids.

• Thank you, Miles, for peeing all over the toilet seat. Sure felt great when I sat down. 
• Thank you, Caitlynn, for informing me that Ghostbuster's 3 is due out in the theatres next summer. Be sure to save your pennies for a ticket and start standing in line now. I'm sure it will be a big hit.
• Thank you, Miles, for letting me know that you want a disco-themed birthday party next year, complete with a disco-ball hanging from the ceiling. So, I'm guessing that Goth-themed party I originally had planned is out of the question?
• Thank you, Miles, for always informing us when you have to "go." Because I need to know about every #2 you take. I certainly hope you grow out of this by the time you reach puberty. 
• Thank you, Caitlynn, for waking me up at 3:00 in the morning. Who needs a good night's rest anyway. Apparently I don't.
• Thank you, both Miles and Caitlynn, for writing all over my papers for work and school. Crayon and markers are classy and are commonly used in offices all over the country.
• Thank you, Caitlynn for always turning to iCarly whenever you find the remote. If I have lines from the show memorized, that's a bad thing. 
• Thank you both for not killing each other in the car ride to Seattle. I actually mean that in all seriousness. 

Miles turned the tables on me today and thanked me for something. Here is a transcript of our exchange:

Miles: Thanks a lot, Mama, for giving me a cold! (yeah, I've been sick lately... not that bad, though)

Me: You are so welcome! Glad you are enjoying it!

Miles: That's not cool, Mama. 

So, be sure to thank your loved ones. They'll appreciate it.
