There’s nothing quite like a large dose of humor, perfectly executed and presented in the most understated way…
We returned home from this afternoon’s party with our beautifully decorated box, chock full of Valentine’s Day cards. The children could hardly wait to get home, exclaiming over this one and that one, and, of course, quickly gobbling every last piece of candy before Mom even got a look.
“Hey…Mom…there’s a card in here for you. It’s from the Cooks…” came a voice from the kitchen.
“Oh, how sweet! That Lucy…she’s just too much…” I said. Little did I know the depths of her “sweetness”, until I opened her homemade card and spied this:
Yeah…that’s my dazzling man…thirty years ago! She hi-jacked the image from either my blog or my facebook account, and…well…there you have it! What a hunk… check out those sweet half-tint aviator frames…and that delicately hi-lighted and feathered hair…what a doll baby!
I laughed. And laughed. And coughed…and then laughed some more. This is, without doubt, the best card EVER…though I daresay I dispute the sentiments expressed…
Rock on, Lucy. Hallmark called…they have a job for you…managing their new “Sarcasm Line!”
Blessings,
Kimberly, you have made my day!! Did Roger like seeing his old, hunky self??
Lucy…he just about died!! Totally priceless…and the kids are still laughing. I just may have to frame this one! You have a real gift, lady…thanks for the best laugh I’ve had in a long time!
Omigosh… When I read this, I busted out laughing! My husband was like, “OK, what’s so funny?” Because he’s not with me (yet!) at the TLM, he didn’t ‘quite’ get it but did chuckle at the pick-up line aspect.
That was too funny! Of course the line (to have full effect) should be said during the “Coffee and Doughnuts” time. LOL
And, yeah. Roger looks very hunky with those gradient aviators!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Isn’t he just da bomb?! We’re both chuckling, thinking how cool we thought we were in the 70s and 80s…one day, I’ll have to drag out Roger’s blue platform shoes. Yes…platform shoes! The guy is 6’3″ and wore platform shoes!! I know I have that box somewhere…
