[quote=Anonymous]I'm sure OP was just shocked and reacted quickly. It takes but a second to grab a pencil and write on a table and she was probably just trying to be quick as a mom of a toddler knows how to be! I don't know if this helps, but I am firm in what I know I want my kids to do, and don't bend to anyone, including grocery store clerks giving my kids suckers, or drink boxes to be drank in the car, cookies directly before nap time, etc. But I make sure it is between my kids and myself, and graciously thank the person and then turn to my children and handle it. I think it models being kind and grateful, and assuming people have good intentions. So I would have said something like "oh thank you for bringing something" and then turned to my kids and said "wasn't that nice of Grandma to think of you, but you know we don't draw on tables. Here is some paper I brought" [/quote]
