With Mothering Sunday just past in England it occured to me, why do we express affections for others through cheap cards with crappy messages in them?
Can a card really show a person how much you care? Yet it is seen as the norm. I didn't get my mother a card, I was her only child who didn't. I've told her lots of times I don't buy cards and that they will never come close to expressing how I feel. Yet she still gets indignant when she doesn't get one off me. It seems silly.
Or maybe i'm just too cheap to buy a card.
