For daughter Jill, age 10 “Jill, mommy and daddy got me for your birthday. I am Sophie Sprinkles. It is a very cold day. I love cold days because I don’t like the sun. It makes me melt and make such a mess. Mommy does not like messes. How about we go to the park today with your brother and some of my friends? Your daddy says we should have lots of friends! My friends are all made of ice cream just like me (giggle). I live in a cone all the time because I am so messy. Would you like to live in a cone too? I love cherries and candy, just like you do. I know you also like chocolate. My favorite ice cream friend is all made from chocolate. I bet you would like eating me and my friends.”

For grandma, age 80 “Grandma, your granddaughter Jill adopted me. I am Sophie Sprinkles and I am here to keep you company and remind you how much Jill loves you and Grandpa! She knows you love cherries and candy and luckily, I am made of just that! You can me will be great friends but don’t let your poodle lick me. I am not sure that ice cream is good for dogs! Jill plans to visit you all the time, and when she is here we can all do fun things. Jill loves when you read her stories and planting flowers in the garden with you. She also loves to play card games with Grandpa!”

For wife Jada, age 30 “Jada, your loving husband Terrell wanted to tell you that he loves you so much. He knows he travels a lot and when he is gone on his business trips, he wants me to keep you company. I know chocolate is your favorite! Today is your anniversary and your loving husband wanted me to wish you the very best day ever. He tells me all the time how much he loves you. When he is at work, I am here to remind you about him. He misses you when he travels, and wants me to keep you company and remind you about him all the time. When you are sad, or a bit lonely, just talk to me and he knows that you will feel happy and full of joy. Don’t lick me too much because there is only so much of me and then there will be none left. “
