Dear old mumsie
My dear old mother has an obsession with buying greetings cards, and more often than not they are to keep for herself, or she might buy one to send on, but then she can’t bear to give it away so sends a boring blank card instead of the funny one she bought. It has literally reached the point of obsession now, where she has started to hoard cards in her handbag, car and house.
What’s the fascination with them? I mean we all like to receive a funny card for our birthday, and these days there are plenty around, but surely the comedy on them cannot be so great that the cards are worth the money just to keep onto and look at in your own house. Well according to my mum, they are. She has a particular like of those ones with fruits and vegetables doing and saying crude things. I must admit that I do like these ones, but when I got one for my birthday, a god luck one, a Christmas one, and a 2011 calendar with all of the pictures on it, I had seen too many!
That was last year; and this year she seems to have discovered the ones with a black and white picture of an old day scene, with some sort of inappropriate phrase being said in an unexpected way. If I get as many of these as I got of the vegetable ones I will go mad! I have seen hundreds of different comedy cards in the last few years since she became obsessed, and have even seen one mocking biodiesel storage tanks. I’m never sure what to expect next. Maybe she should apply for a job to make the cards, as she must have some good ideas of her own now after seeing so many of them.
