But you know, I thought the man was a real sweetie to go to that much effort for his wife. Most don't.
Just don't tell them why the wheels on the skateboard are screwed up!
For my grandmother's 97th birthday, we gave her a card with a race car on it that said "Hey! You're 7!". We used a Sharpie marker to add a 9 before the 7.
My sister-in-law got a Scooby Doo card calling her a "grooovy birthday girl" for her 32nd birthday.
I take digital pictures of my boys "signing" the cards and put the pictures inside the cards before mailing them. x:-)
