A Fathers' Day card by Rachel

Once we work on the spelling a bit, I fully expect her to begin a career in the section of Hallmark that makes the snide greeting cards.

The front of the card:


The inside. (I think she gets her sense of humour from me. Seriously.)


But wait, there's more!


Coupons! They start out as your standard kid coupons:


Awww, she's going to make him breakfast:


And he can come and watch her soccer game:


But then I think that she thought that perhaps she wasn't getting enough out of the coupon deal. Et voilà, a coupon good for the chance to take her for ice cream:



And the pièce de resistance:



She'll go far, this one.

  14. Thanks for all the comments! I really don't know what I'd do for blog material if I didn't have Rachel. She's an original, for sure.
