Here’s what happens when you let a toddler choose a card for her father on his birthday.
I have had this card for almost a year, waiting for the day I could let the LGBB proudly hand it to Steve. See, she thinks this is him. Some artist’s impression of her dear Dad. The hair colour, the manly hand and the work shirt collar has convinced her it is him.
In the shop last year, choosing a card for someone else, she grabbed this and would not put it away. Quite unlike her (and most unlike me, too, giving in to an impulse-buy demand of my child’s) she insisted until she cried that it was Daddy’s birthday card, despite the fact that his birthday was still nearly twelve months away. I had to buy it.
Steve was suitably tickled that Lolly thought him so suave, debonaire. And downright arrogant. Ah, the joy of birthdays.
Happy 39th Birthday, Lenny*!
Lolly sure has the right taste… LOL
Happy birthday Steve, there is a few TTCOM birthdays today!! Have a great day.
Oh my!!
LMFAO
What a perfect choice, it's something I or the feral child would choose for my hubby *snort*
Love, love, LOVE it!! Happy birthday, Daddy!! LOL!!!
Happy Birthday Steve – just love the card and LGBB's cute face looking all so proud that she found the perfect card for her DAD. xxx
*snort* hope he holds onto that card for a few years, very funny!
Have to say I often check the wind direction with that gesture. It's just a guy thing.
Oh that is brilliant. Smart girl
I just love love love the choice… And a card picked FOR Daddy & BY A child so special .. Ever.. Xxx
Ha ha…love this! SO funny!
What a gorgeous cheeky face and a fabulous cheeky gesture. That's one card to be kept forever!
Hahaha! Love it!
My boys usually choose spiderman.
Kate: That's right, there are too!
Mybabyjohn: That's what I first thought.
Jayne: Glad to be in good company then ;P
AFANM: Joan, isn't it just an awful (but cute… but awful) way to say 'Many happy returns'?!
Kakka: You can't beat a proud smile, no matter what the crude message. Or… something like that, anyway.
Super Sarah: I think this one is going straight to the pool room. A keeper, for sure.
Steve: Of COURSE, why didn't I remember that about you strange lot earlier?
CATE PEARCE: WHY AM I SHOUTING? She knows how to get her message across, eh? Hmmm, smart indeed.
Denyse: Too right. You should see the card she chose for me for Mothers Day a few years back – a Bambi/Thumper card with "You're 1!" written on the front…. Steve added in pen "Special Mum" and voile! Too funny. I have kept that one too, of course.
Jodie: Ya gotta love the painstakingly chosen gifts and cards that are just soooo inappropriate but unknowingly by the giver. Now, of course, the younger the gifter, the more it's likely to be completely unintentionally smite-ful.
Trish: Heheh you can guarantee I will be stashing it in the Keep pile!
Clarinda: Well, yes, better this for a bit of a change than the usual Princess/Tinkerbell themed… er… EVERYTHING! I hear you there.
OMG, they don't come any cuter than your Lolly!! Love this.
Love it – hilarious.
I love that you went with it, the innocence of her, and her great reasons for choosing it, and the private giggle you two would have shared!
Happy (bleated) birthday Steve!
Oops, that is to say belated, not bleated! Just saw that I as I pressed publish, doh!
pmsl – it is my husband's bday next week I must find that card!
*waves* Hiya..
