Although they say that a kid knows more than we know and they are alert to everything we do or say i dont think that kid will remember that the mother said that.
My son is 2 and although he knows that he gets presents on his bday he dont realise why and for them its just another day but with the fact that they open xmas or bday presents, they dont know whats goin on yet.
Just an opinion

I know the child wont understand at that age so why say anything? Chances are though thats the way she'll speak to her child all its life, that what I find sad, children have to grow up so quick these days without all the magic taken away from them, glad my kids have a Mum like me
