Srsly Non-Vintage Mother's Day Card LOL

Happy Mother's Day, Aniko. This is precious!

how cute.

I wonder how that smudge around "with" came about.

This card made me lol. I love it. Srsly.

I really can't think about it without grinning from ear to ear. My daughter talks like that all the time.

Glad to see the original, aniko.

I loved your remarks in the Comment Thread.

And, there are several card fanciers (Hi, Ina; Hi, Dannielle) who demand to see the original inscriptions on posted cards and letters. :-)

Great card. :-)

I had to have "wub" explained to me--I clearly don't speak this dialect.

So cute! Happy Mother's Day!

Of course I got chocolates. They like chocolate, you see, especially this Belgian seashell-shaped kind. I also "got" a loaf of some cinnamon-twisty thing. I know who likes that. They pretty much buy stuff they want, and then put it in the gift bag and claim it's for Mother's Day.

Thanks, everyone. Y'all can stop using "srsly" and "lol" now though. If a trend develops and the Dame figures out it's my fault, she'll kill me. Or at least disconnect me, which is about the same....

ahhh, how sweet. I love their writing.

(I "got" a tray of cinnamon rolls from the grandchildren, srsly. Maybe it's a new trend?)

Kate, it does work that way.... I do like those chocolates though, so that's fine. It's just that the last time I left them lying around, exposed to predators, and they were almost gone before I remembered them. This time I took some preventive action.

It could be a trend, Sandy. Mine are apparently called "due cannella", which seems to be Trader Joe-ese for "two cinnamon twists". (I thought it was one long one.)

My daughter made me a card. Inside she drew flowers and a box of candy. I think that means I'm not getting any real flowers or candy. Srsly.

But she made it. This one was store-bought....

Of course I got a bunch of school-related craftified items also. I have a flower made out of a pencil, a little decorated basket, and a hand-painted bottle with bath salts (with the kid's name on it several times--it isn't clear where I come into the picture). Some of these are from the "Hungarian school" they attend every second Sunday, and where we celebrated last week. I noticed there was also a metal ring with some colorful glass that some mothers got, but my eight-year-old whispered in my ears that he was going to have to wear mine for me because it wouldn't fit my fat fingers. (Okay, he didn't say "fat", but that had to be the unstated premise of his argument.) On closer inspection, it turned out it was one of those adjustable "rings" with the open ends in the back.... I can only assume that rings with large colorful stones play some important part in RuneScape, because he clearly thought he needed one and I didn't. And he was probably right, when I think about it.

My teenage daughter "gave" me a txt message from her phone. Srsly. My son did better because he went shopping so I got a 2 GB card for the digital frame his father got me.

The part that makes me wonder: In 75 years, when someone like Peter collects this and the cards like them, are they going to laugh about the quaintness of terms like "lol" and "srsly" or that people were still using the whole word "with" instead of "w/"?

Food for thought. Srsly.

(I can't help it, Aniko. It's beginning to scare me, too.)

Even if it's store bought it's adorable.

My grown kids spend a great deal of time hunting for the "right" card and then topping off the pre-made message with the perfect note that reduces me to a puddle, a good puddle, but still a puddle.

Srsly, lol. ROFLMAO, wtf?

I received a collection of hand-crafted cards for Mother's Day, including one that included a drawing a Christmas tree. None of them took the time to make extra-special bubble letters like your son did.

I do think this child devoted extra effort to her drawing of me, though.

And look at the number of hearts too, Sandy! And all the different colors! (I can make K. draw, and he can draw some pretty detailed and intricate pictures--especially if medieval weaponry is involved--but coloring is below him. He does pencil drawings, he says....)

Sharon, my kids say "WTF" in conversation (as in "hey, double u tee eff!"), which, considering the alternatives, is not that bad. Plus they only use it with each other.

Hey, tucked into my comment was a legitimate question.

Srsly.

I can't type "Srsly" without snorting.

I almost left that as a single comment on Ian's article even though he wouldn't know the reference. Why do I find it so wickedly funny? Has my brain officially turned to mush?

maybe Stephanie, but it will be back in a few years

This is so cool.

Anikó, new it may be, but the personalization makes this card every bit as wonderful as those Peter publishes here -- moreso, in fact, because we know the mother and children and can enjoy your motherly analysis of their efforts (including the wisely hidden chocolate.)

I tried to srsly answer Stephanie's question on Peter's thread. (Or does that only work with a sentence adverb?)

Amelia, I still have some of the chocolates! That's unprecedented.

Yay, Aniko's talking to me again. If you only knew how much pleasure this card gave me.

Srsly. (Last one, I promise)

I don't recall I time I wasn't talking to you. (Unless any sentence addressed to you needs to include srsly.)

Nope I'm good

OMG! I don't recall a time.... What's wrong with me today?! I even slept extra, hnstly.
