Putting Hallmark Out of Business

This morning I was showered with cards from my family.  My two teenage daughters each made me a card signed by "your favorite."  My son was bobbing up and down because he was so excited to share what he had made for me at school.  He, too, gave me a homemade card with the handcrafted work of art for Mother's Day.  

My husband handed a pretty pink envelope across the table to me.  My son's disgusted reply, "Oh nice dad.  Way to give a store-bought card!"  

Hallmark should be thankful that not all who give cards are eight-year-old boys or they would be out of business.

Happy Mother's Day for everyone who fills a motherly role in one fashion or another!
