While I am sometimes referred to as a fundamentalist, it's really just that I like things that are straight-forward, to-the-point, without a great deal of obfuscation or wasted words. So, I think I found the perfect birthday card for Meg this year. The front of the card says, "It's your birthday!!! I got you a card!!!'

There ya' go. No beating around the bush; just an indisputable claim that I have fulfilled the requirement of purchasing a folded piece of cardboard that makes an appropriate reference to the fact that you born on this day in some prior year. I like it.

Then, the inside of the card simply says, "This is the inside of it!!!'

To my way of thinking, this is brilliant!

Everyone opens a card to see what's in it. In this case, the card explains itself and let's the reciepient know that they have reached that destination. I could think of no better card to suit my daughter's sense of humor.

Oh, by the way, it worked. :-)
