i sent my mother a birthday card


one of those  “you mean so much to me”  sentimental types, not usually what i send at all which tends to be natural beauty photographs, not even a birthday card


she was so surprised that she rang back to check if i had really chosen it


i remember looking at it in the shop and thinking


"well i understand what women like now"


it seemed ok and i agreed with the sentiments


so i


sent


it
