When Grandma Was A Little Girl - #49

Can I make choklat milk?

When I was about 6 years old I wrote a note to my mother asking if I could make some chocolate milk. She actually kept that note I wrote in one of her cookbooks. Above is a scanned copy of that original note. It’s a little hard to read. But it says:

Dear, MoMMY you are swet.plesey May I have some cocemote cose you nise and MoMMY I like you to

I wrote that on Wed, April 16, 1957. I was 6 ½ years old! I cannot believe my mom kept that note! One day I was visiting her (I was married and had 3 little girls) and was going through her cookbook and ran across that note. I told her that I couldn’t believe she kept that note that I had written. She said that it was sweet and was a wonderful little memory and she kept it in her cookbook!

I have to say that I don’t recall any of my children writing me notes to make anything. If they had, I would have kept it. One thing that 'I DO HAVE' are some clay figures and plaster handprints that they made when they were in elementary school and about 9 years old. They are sweet and a wonderful memory!
