Still better than carefully choosing a card, then reconsidering it at home and deciding that there’s a chance that the recipient might be offended that one of the cartoon characters on the front might be her, and isn’t a supermodel…did that really not occur to you in the shop? Said card, for a graduate, is still in the drawer after six years! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
