Kid's hilarious note to mom to find out about her surprise gift goes viral

A little girl came up with the most adorable idea to trick her mother into revealing what she was getting for her birthday. Her master plan: write a note to mom pretending to be dad by addressing her as ‘wife’.

The cute handwritten note has gone viral ever since it was first posted on Reddit and later on Instagram. The sweet girl, known as Lily, would have clearly pulled the wool over her mother’s eyes had it not been for her handwriting and scribbled-out spelling mistakes or perhaps the usage of the endearment ‘wife’.

Readers were quick to point out that the smart child gave a very plausible excuse in the letter to extract the important piece of information from her mother. Her father had simply ‘forgotten’ what the gift was and just needed a reminder. Nevertheless, her funny note will sure leave a big smile on any parent’s face.
