Do you think a bit of coercion was involved?

My daughter has always been very good at sending cards. All different types of cards for all imaginable holidays and events. Only, she’s never been into arts and crafts and so generally it’s a store bought card. However, her daughter enjoys drawing and so for special events I usually get an Audrey original. Audrey likes flowers.

Of course, her younger brother is at that age where he is not to be outdone by his sister.

You’ll notice the more forceful style. Happy Mother’s Day or else. But I really got a chuckle from this message.

“Ok, so I will draw a picture for you!

Do you think a little coercion was involved? As in: “Don’t you want to draw a picture for your Grandma?”

(That’s probably meant to be a coffin in the ocean with Grandma’s dead body inside and she’s floating off into the sunset. No more pesky prods to draw pictures for her!)

We aren’t all lucky enough to be mothers in the literal sense but most of us have cared for someone at some point in our lives, even if that someone had fur or scales or feathers or . . .

And so, Happy Caring Person Day to us all!

*** This message was not coerced.
