Two Cards

Tweet

My dad loves funny cards, and when he gives me birthday cards, they are usually funny too. Incidentally, my mom’s were always sweet and caring. Anyway, the thing with him is that he never wrote in the cards. In his head, I might want to use it again so he leaves it unsigned. I told him years ago, if it came from him, I’m not reusing it no matter what, I’m keeping it. So, if he gave one to me with no message, I’d get a pen, hand him the card, and tell him to write something. On occasion, a card I’d get him was so funny he’d want to use it again, and then he’d be disappointed when I wrote in it. I fixed the problem this year. I give him a funny one with no message so he can use it again, and then I get him a sweet one he’ll want to keep. This year, the funny one made him laugh so hard he almost spit out his drink. He’ll definitely use that one again.
