none of the cards on the stationery
aisle said exactly what needed saying.
they offered only sweet platitudes:
wishing you well,
sending our prayers,
hoping for a speedy recovery.
i wanted a card that named names and
kicked ass:
that sonofabitch needed hanging!
who the hell do you think you are?
you deserved that broken tibia!
with a picture of daisies on the front.
Peace, people.
A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
Doing the best I can with what I have
kind of sad, but not so bad with cheese. cheese not provided.

There seem to be a distinct lack of cards with to-the-point messages. A gap in the market perhaps?

Maybe I’m ready to exploit that gap.

Ha! The gap came through on this end. A small victory over wordpress!

I have a Christmas card I’ve kept for years. Originally sent from one chum to a person he didn’t like. The wording on the inside was in verse and although I think you’d appreciate his sentiments at the time sadly it is too rude to print here…sorry about that!

Doggone it! I think it should be printed–as long as pictures of baby ducks or daisies accompany it.

I really shouldn’t have mentioned it as it is so totally crude (the message in the card that is). One day I shall try and pluck up the courage to post it as it is/was very funny!

I go for the blank then fill it chokka with all sorts. Only for my own crew, right enough. I rarely buy a card with flowers or if they look twee. Funnies work for me. Even the rude funnies. Just as well my cew have a sense of humour. (I hope!) 😉

My son once accused me of having the most deranged sense of humor. I took it as a compliment.

A sense of humour is a distinct bonus in motherhood, you should tell him. 😉 How else could we cope?!
