For my special Mother:I haven't bought a greeting card for years. Because could they be any lamer? That's what I tell myself every time I save $2.95 in lieu of sending a birthday greeting to anyone I care about. Then my birthday comes around, and I get a card in the mail from you. It opens up to a screaming version of Cameo's "Word Up!"
So wave your hands in the air like you don't cayer! Oh baby, what's the word, uh word up!
This one takes the birthday cake. But you're consistent. Birthdays, holidays, waiting for a baby, your cards are always a slam dunk. Among the stacks of disappointing choices, overrun by animals with speech balloons, fart jokes, sepia toned (or worse, selective colored!) kids in cute "adult" scenarios, and bare-chested hunks on car hoods, you always find the hallmark of Hallmarks.
So I'd like to take the liberty of presenting you, Mom, with the lifetime achievement award for Best Card Giver for Special Occasions.
From your loving daughter,
Mary
p.s. Is that Kunta Kinte breaking up the party?

Just as I was about to post your birthay "post", I saw this from you. It then became a challenge to find a REALLY appropriate/funny image. And I did! But it said "Catherine" more than "Mary", so I'm reserving it for her. (You'll just have to wait for May 20, Cat).
Thank you for your "Best Card Giver for Special Occasions" award; it truly made me happy.
But I have to give Lisette some credit here: she introduced me to the "musical" ( in your case "screaming") birthday cards.
I gotta tell you, Stop and Shop hasn't much of a selection, but I did get hoot out of the one I sent you. That picture is tooo much!
And the song? YIKES!
