Mother's Day was this past weekend. This was the first year my kids have asked if they could buy me a card. This was also the first year they've decided to tell dad how poorly he's doing as far as recognizing me for this day, or any other special day (my birthday) during the year. Kind of funny if you ask me.
We were shopping at the grocery store and I was about ready to strangle Farmer Boy and the Princess when, in a faint whisper, she came and said, "Can I get you a Mother's Day Card? I'll pick it out and put it in the cart and you just have to pay for it."
How can you resist that?
But wait, I was ready to beat them a second ago. Ah, saved by the cuteness. I agreed and let them pick out a beautiful work of art.
Much to my delight on Mother's Day, I opened up one card to hear the song, "Whooomp, there it is!" This was from Farmer Boy. The card was quite funny, but has been adopted by Cookie Monster as his personal DJ service.
The other was a beautiful shade of pink on the front, with flowers, perfume and other "girly" things. It read "For the Woman Who Shares My Life." I commented on how pretty the card was and then opened it up to read further...
"I'm a very lucky person. I married a loving, caring woman..."
By now, I was holding the card in front of my face to cover the smile and laughter.
"....Who has given me the most wonderful family I could ever dream of. There's no way I could show you how much you mean to me...but I'll always keep trying. Happy Mother's Day."
Seriously, I was trying not to pee my pants, squeezing my legs together while wiping away tears of laughter.
My husband had caught on by now and said how pretty the card was.
The Princess signed it "Love me and Love **'s sister."
These cards were followed by the homemade ones from school
Oh, and dad get me a gift.
This was honestly the best Mother's Day yet.
