Sue’s Card

This may be the funniest card I have received in my entire life. What is even funnier is that Sue (Tracey’s step-sister, so my step-sister-in-law) apparently had this card for some time, but didn’t know when my birthday actually was.

Mom called yesterday to tell me that she had figured out why my birthday package had not arrived. She had sent it to the right address, the right city, the right state, and the right zip code… but she had addressed it to me except with her maiden name. Now I’ve had this last name my entire life and I’ve known Mom for my entire life, so she was saying that she is preparing to enter herself into a home for the mentally fragile.

Then there was the phone call yesterday from someone I don’t talk to all that often on the phone, who I originally thought was calling to wish me a happy birthday but then ended up not mentioning it at all, leading me to wonder if the call was purely coincidental or that it has been the reason for the call but had been forgotten by the end of the call.
