Funny apology

We've been working with Gracyn on manners. Teaching table manners and general polite behaviors can often be slow coming for small children. Gracyn has a habit of being a little too verbal when it comes to announcing what she likes and doesn't like...mainly what she doesn't like. So last night, as I'm on "couch rest", Jack makes dinner. It was a perfectly fine dinner mind you. Gracyn several times makes a "yuk" noise at one of the foods she is displeased with. We reprimand her for this as we are trying to instill a more polite way to turn down a food. We remind her to say, " No thank you or may I be excused from eating this please?" But the "yuks" kept coming. So after several unheeded warnings, she is swiftly sent to her room. After a few minutes, I go to speak with her. I talk to her about how her manners are hurtful to the person who made the food, unlady-like and rude. I remind her of the behaviors we'd prefer to see. She apologizes. I ask her to make Jack an apology note since she was rude about his cooking. She likes the idea and spends some time working on her card. After five or so minutes she returns with a card. I ask to see it first. Upon reading it, I couln't help but to burst into laughter. She laughed too, but wasn't sure why. Here is what her card said:

I i am sre dade for dwen e uke fen.

Translation: I am sorry Daddy for doing a yukky thing. The letters were actually all run togehter but I figured you wouldn't be able to "read" her apology if I didn't separate the words. It was a reminder of how precious little kids are even when they have bad table manners!
