1. Your mom is awesome.
2. For every birthday and Christmas card my grandmother signs she also uses unnecessary quotation marks when she adds the name on the front of the card. Thus, I have years and and years of envelopes adorned with "Kerri." Which makes me laugh unreasonable amounts every.single.time.
The best part is that you can totally regift that card. "Kerri" really means Chris.

I dunno, I'm thinkin' that cake went horribly right! I mean, I'd love it for my birthday. Ha!
Y'know, my mom is the one who sends me funny links like this too. Aren't they the greatest?
