dearest mademoiselle benson,
I am responding to your inquiry of 30 December regarding your mother's birthday celebration. I am anticipating a small intimate gathering (you, me, pepper and the guest of honor). If you would like to bring a birthday dessert of some kind (store bought would be wonderful, I'm sure -carrot cake, cherry pie, cupcakes bombe surprise-whatever floateth thy boat).
As far as the day goes, I'm guessing Saturday would be appropriate, considering that is her birthday.
warmest felicitations,
father

I think I shall end all future communication with "warmest felicitations."
i saw the WORST greeting card I have ever seen today. it was a side profile of a woman's body, as if she was giving birth and you can see the babies head coming out of her vijay (again, from the side, not straight on) but the head is wearing a pointed hat that says 'happy birthday' and the inside of the card said something like 'congrats on the anniversary of giving birth' and i was just....NO. NO NO NO NO.
i'm sorry that your story made me think of that.
