I like to make people smile.
My mom hates green beans. I never had the pleasure of green bean casseroles for Thanksgiving growing up because my mom hates green beans. She likes cabbage and cauliflower and corn and peas and radishes (my personal least favorite vegetable, well, besides beets). But she hates green beans.
I was eating lunch with her the other day and I offered her $5 if she would eat the green beans on her plate. She refused.
So as we were laughing about it later, I decided to send her a postcard with a picture of some green beans on the front, and EAT YOUR GREEN BEANS!!! on the back.
I bet it will make her smile.

I’m thinking this same approach would be good for my mother. She hates peanut butter so much that it makes her nauseous. I might try and send her a card just like it. She’s been very kind to my daughter lately and deserves a smile.
Oh, great idea! Let me know what she thinks.
One of my congregation members takes my trash to the dump for me. I sent him a thank you card with a garbage can on the front. He said it would have been even better if his head were coming out the garbage can. Next time I’m going to do it!
