9-Year-Old’s Hilarious Guilt-Trip Note to Mom Goes Viral
In a delightful twist of childhood drama, a note from a nine-year-old named Lily has taken the internet by storm. Parents everywhere can relate to the antics of their little ones, especially when they express their feelings in the most exaggerated ways possible. This particular note comes from a mother, Jenna, who found herself in a playful argument with her daughter over the state of her messy room.
After a heated exchange where Lily dramatically declared she would rather be sold on eBay than clean her room, Jenna responded with a quick-witted remark that no one would actually buy her daughter. While the two eventually reconciled, Lily didn’t miss the chance to express her feelings through a heartfelt note that would tug at any parent’s heartstrings.
The note started off, “Dear Mum, I admit I was not nice to you, and I’m truly sorry. But the fact that I’m not feeling well and wanted to rest just flew out the window. Your comment about no one wanting to buy me on eBay really broke my heart. Now I know just how ashamed you are of me. Love, Lily.”
Every parent knows the kind of dramatic flair kids have. My little one, who’s four, already claims she’s going to run away and calls me the “meanest mom ever.” While it’s not ideal to have a “broken heart” over imaginary eBay sales, it’s hard not to chuckle at the absurdity of it all. Jenna later reassured everyone that Lily’s heart was “all better now” and shared the note because, as she put it, “kids know just how to make you feel guilty.”
Since its posting, the note has garnered over 6,000 shares, along with a flood of amusing comments from parents who have experienced their own children’s silly notes. One parent shared a message from their ten-year-old: “Go away. I don’t love you anymore meanies (never want to see you again) ever again.” Another story involved a six-year-old pleading, “Mummy and Daddy Can I please come down? I’m the saddest I could be.” A nine-year-old even drafted “escape plans” during a timeout: “Get a bag of clothes, open the window, say goodbye forever, go out of the window, shut the window and run away.” Kids really have a knack for creativity, don’t they?
