About This Card

I was listening to some poor, hapless parent talking about how hard it was to get their kid to enter the civilized world and, before I knew it, the words of today’s wrongcard fell off my tongue. If I ever become a parent I want to do it the old-fashioned way: accidentally. I look forward to it, I suppose; it just seems so romantic to flee a country and live under a false identity.

Though she hasn't said it to me, I think my mother wants to beat them half-to-death with a leather strap. I am merely extrapolating from our shared history.
