Secret Admier

Published by molly at 11:49 am under childhood memories, single mom Edit This

My son’s daycare is fundraising in the form of “Valentine’s Grams.” Which means for a donation of 2 dollars your child will be singled out by the group when your gram arrives during class in a big production of my mom loves me more than your mom loves you.

I immediately had flashbacks to junior high when a similar fundraiser would take place but it was a contest of who had the most friends countable by helium balloons. I felt really sad when the grams were delivered and I didn’t receive any. The next year I wasn’t gonna let myself be socially singled out as s loser. I gathered up my babysitting cash and bought myself a valentine’s gram I signed:

Love Your Secret Admirer.

The next day I went to daycare and spent 20 bucks buying a gram for all the kids that didn’t receive one. My personal mission to avoid diminishing children’s self esteem.
