One night my daughter and I were in wally world, picking out the appropriate congratulatory greeting cards for friends and family members with upcoming birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
My daughter came across one that she thought was perfect for me. I watched her laugh hysterically as she read and re-read the card, peeking at me several times to make sure she had my attention.
She (laughing uncontrollably): Mommy! This card is perfect for you. Oh my God!
Me: What? Lemme see.
She: Here mommy. (still giggling like a hyena)
She handed me the card and I checked out the illustration first. I love interesting illustrations and I took in every detail--mostly to see if there were any subliminal messages--before I read the actual text. This one was nicely done but nothing spectacular.
The cartoon depicted two women, seated on opposite sides of a small round kitchen table. A round birthday cake with a slice missing was in the middle of the table. The missing slice lay on a dessert plate beside the cake dish. The women were half-smiling and each had a steaming mug in front of her.
I checked out the front caption: Only the good die young.
Then I opened it and read the inside: Bitches like us live forever. Happy Birthday.
My mouth dropped to the floor and that lil crumb snatcher laughed so hard she almost peed her pants.
Now scoot your boots on over to TopBlogMag to see what other people are saying. '-)
