FOUND by Taylor in Edson, Alberta, Canada
I found this cute little note in the basement right after we moved into our new house.

Hmmmm...this is a definition of the word "cute" of which I was previously unaware. Yeah, the kid may exagerrate...or may not. Mom may indeed be wanted by the FBI or at least by local law enforcement.

I don't find this "cute". The kid sounds like an over-indulged brat.

And you wonder why the house so suddenly came on the market for you to move into? Hmm? wonder no longer:

Even years later, those folks fleeing the draft - and the people harboring them - were still whanted by the F.B.I. (and I'm not referring to the 'funny bone inspectors'!).

Yes they hated mom the narc for always finding the stash and disposing of it. Mom did go on to a rewarding career after disposing of her nuisance child and was forever grateful for the idea. Way to go, Janet Reno!

Hah. I totally wrote my mom notes like that when I was little. Then I would feel really bad and make a big show of ripping it up in fornt of her while presenting her with a really nice new love note.

I side with the kid on this one. Mom was a crack ho that did a parental kidnapping to take the kid away from his somewhat respectable father. Kid resents Mom in a big way and knows the F.B.I. is hot on her trail. If Mom would just go away for a while - and leave the basement door unlocked - the kid can make the necessary phone calls to be rescued.

At least this kid was decent enough to put it on a piece of paper. My 5-year-old was put in time out on the hallway steps. Later,we found a note 6" off the floor - IN INK - on 109-year-old plaster walls reading, "I love you Mommy but NOT you Daddy". Magic Eraser can't take that away...

The lost in-between note:

Dear Amy,

You are a very bad little girl. Why did you only make a picture of a whale for Dad? That was really awful and selfish of you. As a punishment I am confining you to your room, and not feeding you. I demand that you be quiet, some men are stopping by and don't want any attention drawn to them about a job they are doing at a local bank. Please stay in your closet. There is a piece of paper and purple crayon to keep you busy and SILENT! Also, say a prayer to our lord and saviour.

Your Loving Mother

I love this note. I remember when my kids were little, they all got mad and decided to pack their bags to run away.

I didn't tell them that the FBI was looking for me, though.

When Amy got home, happily carrying her loving whale card for her dad, her mom wasn't home. She gave her dad the card first thing. He tried to smile, but Amy could tell he wasn't really happy. "Where's Mommy?" she asked. Her dad looked really sad and said, "She left, honey." Amy was confused. "Why did she leave?" she asked. "She was wanted for the FBI," her dad explained, "and she ran away." That made Amy hate her mom. Why hadn't she taken her family with her? Had she even known she was wanted by the FBI? Amy decided to write a note for her mom expressing her hate and informing her mother of her FBI status.

I like how the child dates it... that way it doesn't get mixed up with all the other "hate notes" she has writen. They are filed away in a shoe box under the bed, writen, but never to be given. Instead she will repress it until she explodes and goes on a crazy rampage- by then dear ol mom will be locked up... never to know the damage she has done. How cute. Sigh.

The parent definitely dated it, not the kid. (Look at the handwriting)

The mom must have thought it was cute and wanted to save it in her box of cute artwork/ notes/ cards so that in 20 years when she wanted to reminisce it would be a memory for her. I'm sure there was a funny story behind it otherwise the mom wouldn't have wanted to save it.

Maybe the intended recipient-mom was something like this one:

My Dearest Child,
In response to your note...I have sold you to the Gypsies...have fun!
+ July 15, 2009 02:35 PM +
is that so wrong?
I wanna party with Gordon in the corduroy pants.
+ July 15, 2009 02:35 PM +
hmm
This is fabulous! Typical tantrum, but a bit of a British approach ("if you'd be so kind as to just curry along now, that'd be great, ta") AND the creativity of messing with mom's head about the FBI!

I think it's great that the mom had a sense of humor about it, enough to mark the date on it and save it. Sounds like something I'd do*. Too bad she left it behind; I bet she'd be grateful to have it back.

*My own mother, on the other hand, would have wept for days and wondered where she'd failed, then sought family counseling for us all.

funny stuff.. I hate you, so like, go away could you?? gah! I guess the kid only 'wishes' the mother was wanted by the FBI so she really would get taken away. And ev time they see a cop the kid yells like she's being kidnapped or beaten just trying to get said hated mother in trouble or taken on the spot! Oh Kids...

also, LMAO @ someone wanting to party w/ Corduroy pants Gordon. Looks as if he's not wearing pants almost they match his skin so much.. Good Stuff!!!

Every time one of my kids has told me they hated me, I told them, "GOOD!! I'm glad. That must mean I'm doing this mom thing right." I don't know though, I think it worked like reverse psychology or something, they don't say it anymore.

The F.B.I. does not exist in Canada. So its most likely the child just watches too much T.V.

Fine. The FBI can have your dinner then. And your dessert!

@Gator Girl-my 12 yr old was on his way to his room for some "cool-down" time (too old for time outs, but I sure coulda used one!)left a nice big hole 6" off the floor with his foot. Magic eraser can't get rid of that, either. haha, he was pretty shocked at himself. . .

Let's get you started on a program today.
F.B.I.= F*ckbuddies International.

The mom in question must be a MILF.

If Gordon rolled to either side, I'll bet we'd see his coin slot.
