The funniest card request I have ever gotten.

So my friend, Kathleen, texted me about a week ago with a very unusual request.  She wanted a congratulations card for her nephew.  A very specific congratulations card.  Here's the front:

And here's the inside:
Word-for-word, this is what she wanted.  Hahaha!  I laughed so dang hard.  I told Ben about it, and we both got into one of those giggling fits we have sometimes late at night.  We probably laughed for an hour about it.

The back story:  She was visiting her sister for a week, and her nephew is just starting to go through puberty.  And he is EXCITED about it.  (I remember being un-excited about hitting puberty.  I would stuff my bras into the couch cushions.  I was not ready.)  So I guess, during the week she was there, her nephew was over-sharing about the changes he's going through, and she thought it would be funny to tease him about it by sending him a congratulatory card.

It still makes me giggle to think about it. :)

  2. I have to answer this here because I don't want him to know it is coming before it gets there. I'm glad you got a giggle out of it. He is a funny kid. I will let you know his reaction when I hear back from him. Thanks for making it, even though it was a little out of the box. We loved it!!
