We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
I think this note is adorable... 'tell her my parents dont take drungs' haha.
hehe, my parents don't take drugs either. All my friends parents though... they are a different story.
The lengths kids have to go to to be allowed to have a friend sleep over at their house! Very persuasive!
Makes me wish I was having a sleep over.
I love this note. It reminds me of being little and having to think of as many reasons as possible to validate a sleepover. "My parent's don't take drugs" that is the funniest/cutest thing ever.
That would make me think that her parents DID take drugs, but maybe i'm just paraniod.
Aww...That's the same type of reasoning I had to do so I could have sleepovers as a kid.
You're right Matt; I questioned the reason behind that inclusion. Does that mean that the parents DO take drugs, or reiterating the fact they DON'T to increase their moral standing. Really makes you wonder the logic of children...
"Found in daughters backpack" sounds like "Come across while searching daughters backpack"?
Did you let her go?
Cripplingly beautiful! Makes me want to be seven again. My mum used to "accidently" find notes wherever I hid them: "I found this while cleaning your room." "It was buried in a box wrapped in newspaper under the floorboards behind the wardrobe Mum!" "I was dusting..."
Did you let her go Bennion?
I love the line "Tell her my parents don't take drugs." This one is priceless.
My mom did do drugs, and the house was never clean. I never had anyone stay over. I hope that all your daughter's sleepovers are the best.
I think that is is really cute, but a little strange that, that is the line to convice her parents to let her stay over.
Hope it worked!
"my parents don't take drugs..my mom's a clean freak!" that's heartbreaking and adorable. it's like saying tha tyou can assure your parents that you'll be safe...we have a clean house to prove it. it's usuaually the clean, whitewashed, picturesque houses that are trouble anyway..
Hahaha Stu! My mum used to find EVERYTHING I wrote down, on the condition that I didn't want her to read it. If I told her off for looking through my things she'd just say "My mum told me once, 'If you don't want something to be read, you should never write it down.' You should remember that." Psshh.
As for this note, adorable, I miss being a kid.
Hmm...'my parents don't take drugs' AND 'my mom's a neat freak'?!
Red flag!! Red flag!!
wow I would HATE to have whoever found this as a mother. Between the backpack-searching and needing such persuading to let her kid stay over someone's house, I would hate having to grow up there!!
I think the note's author has an over-protective mother, rather than the other way around. In the mind of a seven year old, everyone is just like your mom, so you would try to convince someone else's parent just like you would your own, ("but Mom, her parent's don't do drugs either, and they are also clean freaks, just like you. So it's okay.")

My mom used to ask people if they smoked, had a dog, or had any guns before i could stay the night at their house. this note reminds me of that, its cute.
My grandmother used to ask "where do they go to church?" before making a decision on whether or not I could sleep over. That...is sad.
I don't see what ther gripe is about the mum going through the kids bag. The kids obviously pretty young, I'm sure alot of parents go through their kids bags to get books out, letters from school, lunch boxes etc out of their bags. I'm pretty sure my mum did, and she wasnt 'snooping'
This looks like something I'd find in my daughter's bag. I'm super careful about letting them stay with other people, as I SHOULD be I think! Just because I "met" little Suzy's mom at a PTA meeting for all of 30 seconds doesn't mean I *know* her parents! For all I know they could be psyco, child abusing methheads! I'm just a *little* overprotective! LOL!
Louise, your mum was "snooping", so was this person, so was everybody's mum, ever. Without exception. It's what parents do.
If I had kids I would totally snoop through their things. I'd draw the line at reading their journals though. I think.
"My parents don't take drugs" ... that's what you think.
If I found this note in my daughter's backpack, I'd suggest she remind her friend to use a possessive pronoun with a gerund.
WTF, Dad?
"Remember to ask your mom about OUR sleeping over." Perhaps this would also be a good time to remind you that "anal retentive" is hypenated if placed before the word it modifies; for instance, "Midlife Crisis has an anal-retentive interest in grammatical minutiae." OK, now you can go to your sleep-over. Have a good time! Don't use heroin, honey!
Dad, you and Mom are NOT sleeping over too! And your ANAL retentiveness is creepy phyco.

I'm not so sure this was written by a seven year old, it's too precocious. This sounds more like something my grade three or fours would write. My first impression of this, coming from working with inner city kids, is that she wouldn't mention about the drugs if it wasn't something she was already self-conscious about. That's not to say her family takes drugs, but perhaps she lives in an area of town where taking drugs is commonplace amongst her neighbours . . .
I was thinking the same thing Melissa said. Maybe they live in a drug infested area but the little person comes from a good clean family and is trying to have good decent friends. Cute and kind of sad at the same time.
How do you "clean room and toy room" since when is toy a verb?
This reminds me of one of my friends when I was that age! Her mum practically interveiwed my mum asking all sorts of questions, particularly if there were any older males in the house. I'm sure she asked if they took drugs, too.
1,
The person didn't mean that they "toy the room"
they meant that they clean both their bedroom and their toy room.
Adorable-I look at this as if the child is PROUD to say that her parent's are drugfree, and that she lives in a clean home !! GOOD FOR HER ! ( Or him ! )
The line about parents not taking drugs is more of a reflection of the DARE programs and the intensity of the anti-drug emphasis on todays kids. I have been to many DARE graduations with my daughters. Remember school is not teaching Math, Reading and Writing anymore. I liked the note. Reminds me of when my daugthers were that age.
Do antidepressants count as drugs?
I take 'em AND I'm not a neat freak. And all the kids like to come play with my daughters at my house. Does that mean we're not suitable for a sleepover? :o)
Was the finder's daughter the kid who wrote or the kid who received this note? In otherwords, is the drug-free clean-freak the person who sent this in, or not?
Anyone else see some desperation in the kid's note? CALL ME... Feel sorry for her, maybe no-one is allowed to sleep over at her place because they think her parents are on drugs.
Bennion, enlighten us.
I think the note says tdy room... as in TIDY. (foneticlly reading that is)
haha, im about to turn sixteen
and i still have to do my chores before i can have friends over.
@Jon-- My daughter is in Kindergarten and I would never get full information if I didn't get papers out of her backpack. Are you honestly trying to say that I'm snooping?? I hate to think what you would say if my poor child missed every field trip, show and tell, snack day, and special event her class had all year (which is exactly what would happen if I didn't "snoop"). Looking at things from your perspective, I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't.
