Manners available at Off the Wagon - Your mom deserves credit for teaching you enough manners that you buy greeting cards with censored curse words. Momma didn’t raise no hooligan.
At Least You Have Me available at ONEderChild - If you're planning to send your mom this card on her birthday, you're probably the witty one in the family - and that's likely why you're the favorite child.
No offense to the non-favorites.

Card Design by Modern Wit

Birthday Card Messages For Her
Can’t figure out what to write inside your new birthday card? Here are some ideas to inspire you. Feel free to use any of them:
- I know age is just a number, but you have got to stop making up your own.
- You’re smart, funny, beautiful, kind, and pretty much everything else that makes you perfect.
- Happy birthday, my love! You haven’t aged a bit. I guess that’s good for both of us.
- You may have fooled others with how young you look, but remember: I know your real age.
- Happy birthday, mom! Now is your time to relax, hang loose, and let dad take care of everything.
- Only children would never understand how sisters can love each other dearly, and yet want to murder each other at the same time.
It’s even better if you personalize your message. Tailor the message to your experiences with her. Quote lines from her favorite songs or movies, throw in an inside joke or mention a memory you share.
Putting a little more effort into your message can go a long way. This will show how much you appreciate her, and will make her special day more memorable.
Thanks For Dropping By!
