I get one of these "I'll be dead soon" hand-written wills
ONCE A YEAR since the day I left home for college. I was truly taken aback to count the more than TWENTY I'd collected. This one highlights the official notary seal of the State of Nevada. Please tell me this isn't normal. Please.

If, God Forbid, he pre-deceases me, I then leave everything to my grandson-
Being of sound mind, I sign this-

If it isn't properly witnessed, it may not be enforceable. You ought to tell Mama she may be doing you a disservice.
No, this is not normal.
Man...I am SO glad you agree with me. A friend of mine at work made me feel like I'm taking this too far. He suggested that wills are a normal thing for parents to think of when children are involved! Well, of course they are, I added. But THIS ISN'T NORMAL TO GET IN THE MAIL EVERY YEAR!!!!
I'm way late to the party, but my mother even travelled with hers. The living will and the last will. She'd read it aloud anytime she could trick my sister and me into being in the same room with her and "the purple folder". Nothing says Christmas morning like a mother reading her will to her teenaged daughters.
Wow, Mary Ann. I can hear the re-write now...
"But I heard her exclaim, ‘ere she drove out of sight,
"Happy Last Wills to all, and to all a good-night!"
