Special thanks to F. for sharing this little gem.
It’s a note he sent to his mom on Mother’s Day when he was roughly ten years old, circa 1984. Like a typical cheap male, it’s clear to see that he’s trying to bring on the charm and swarm his way out of having to commit to giving gifts or any other superficial sign of appreciation. Who cares that a ten year-old has no money? This is worse than using the old “It’s the idea that counts” line.
And what’s up with the apologizing for the watch bit? According to F., he had lost his mom’s priceless watch the week before. How slick to sneak in a half-assed apology for Mother’s Day.
