Hallmark panic

I walked into Hallmark today to buy Mother's Day cards, apparently like the rest of Alexandria. It was hilarious. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the card section was three people deep. (And, yes, this means that our Mother's Day cards to our moms and grandmas will arrive super late. I hope they'll forgive us.)

Reminds me of the days I was working at Bath & Body Works, when dads and kids would come in looking for Mother's Day gifts, sometimes on Saturday, but often on Mother's Day itself. The kids would always pick out the most sickeningly sweet lotions, while the dads just wanted to buy the basket full of stuff and get out of there.
