Birthday Cards

Tomorrow is W’s birthday. Finding an appropriate birthday card has proved very very difficult! It’s not like he is the world’s best domestic example of husbands, or the kindest, or the most considerate. I did think about getting a totally blank card, but thought that a bit obvious. I was soooooooo tempted by the Mr Happy Card- on the outside it read ‘Today is your day to be Mr Happy’ and inside ‘Tomorrow you can go back to being Mr Grumpy again. Happy Birthday’.

So I went with the theme of yesterday’s session with the shrink- the outside reads ‘You are Special’ with a picture of a dog holding a flower- it is one of those 3d fronts. Inside it reads ‘have a very happy birthday’. At least he thinks he is very special :)

The kids made him a card because quite frankly all the kids cards talk of all the wonderful things daddy does with them and why he is so special.

Now I think I could make a fortune with my own range of birthday cards. Just simple ones that read ‘Happy Birthday Daddy’ with a picture of a kid holding up some XOXOXOXs or some lovehearts on them. J’s card is a classic- He drew Daddy on the front. I asked him what was important to remember with Daddy’s. He said that they have hands. So the stick figure grew hands! Then he said that they ahd feet. So the stick figure has feet with 2 toes on one foot and 3 on the other! Then he said that they have bristles! So the face has bristles! Then at the end he thought he should put eyes and a smile on. He then told me he was going to leave off the pen*s and draw daddy wearing shorts. I had to try not to laugh!

I’s card is in the cut out of a love heart and simply says ‘Happy Birthday Dad’ with pictures of presents everywhere!

I just want a card that says ‘Happy Birthday Hubby’ with a simple picture on it like a heart or a star or something that can read many ways...
