Mother's Day ecard: Thank you for not sending me down a river in a basket made from reeds so that I might be found by a Childless Queen and raised in that strange, distant realm to be a great and terrible leader of men.

About This Card

I’m not allowed to celebrate Mother’s Day with Mother, so each year I make a life-sized doll, you see, and I sit with her at the table and we make tea and I bring her favorite cigarettes and liquorice. When it is over I take her outside and set her on fire. Without traditions we would all be lost.

I don’t know if you’ve ever tried to discuss theology with anyone but what happens is that, well, everybody else’s insight into the mind of their Deity is far better than your own, and that’s all there is to say on the subject.
