[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 5th grade DS just had a birthday party. One of his friends brought a vard with a nice message and a $100 bill. This is way out of the norm of the average kid gift in our circles! His mom mainly speaks Spanish and not much English. Is this something we should address and/or try to return? Or send a very nice thank you and plan to reciprocate similarly in the future? Thanks [/quote]

We had a Spanish-speaking family in my kid's preK class bring their son to our daughter's 4th birthday, which was "no presents" and just for kids to play in the bounce house and eat cake and get their faces painted, and they put a $50 gift card in her bday card!  I was also flummoxed and didn't want to accept it or be rude enough to return it.  We had a plan to give him a $50 present for his birthday but they moved away before we had a chance.  I still feel uneasy about taking the money and never making it even.[/quote]

$50 is not the stretch for everyone you think it is. Pay it forward by being generous with someone else. [/quote]
