Recommended Posts

I was in a card shop today. Boy, do they have all the bases possible covered. Father's day cards...


- for fathers

- for stepfathers

- for fathers to be ("a card from the bump" - I jest not)

- for the person "who was like a father to me"

- for grandads

- for grandads who are having their first father's day as a grandad

- for an uncle (???)

- for "my fianc?" (??????)

- from the dog

- from the cat

Kids like to do stuff and it's pretty harmless


Or rid ourselves of Easter and Christmas while we're at it

Me too. But when they are young can't you say no! Just told my teenager no, but then said why not bake me a cake.


Not a fan of mothering Sunday either as this is supposed to celebrate mother church.


Perhaps we should be nice to our parents every sunday!

Even that sounds creepy


But anyway, here we go


That card is a just odd, because who stands on a road (in silhouette) surrounded by sand dunes, in the middle of no-where saying "I love you, Daddy"


It should be followed by

"WTF are we doing standing in the middle of the road, what would mummy say abou that? You know how she's very strong on using the crossing points. I wonder if it's this along with other things that Mummy talks about and why you now live at Grandma's house"


Plus they look like they've levitated a couple of inches of the Tarmac
