#373 - Thank You Note Do's and Don'ts

Writing a Thank-You Note
Do's and Don'ts

> You do

Write a thank-you note to your friend's parents if they took you out to eat at a nice restaurent or on an out-of-town trip.

> You don't

Write a thank-you note to your friend's parents if they simply made you a grilled cheese sandwhich when you were over at theri house.

> Why

There are limits to how many thank-you notes you have to write. You should send a thank-you note for special gifts or special acts of kindness. A trip to see a professional hockey game requires a thank-you note. A grilled cheese sandwich does not. (You do say, "Thank you." when your friend's mom or dad gives you the sandwich, of course.) If you are wondering whether you need to send a thank-you note, ask your parents for their advice.
