The Late Birthday Card
A man forgets his wife’s birthday and is feeling really guilty about it. He’s rushing to find the perfect card, but it’s the day after her birthday, so he’s starting to panic. He rushes into a store and buys the first card he can find.
It’s one of those really cheesy cards that says, “Happy Belated Birthday! You’re a year older, but still look great!” He figures it’ll have to do and writes a quick message inside, “I know I messed up, but I promise I’ll make it up to you.”
The next day, she opens the card and reads it. She looks at him and says, “You know, I appreciate the gesture, but it’s been a whole year. So, how about next time, you get the card on time?”
He sighs and says, “Well, next time, I’ll try to get two cards: one for your birthday, and one for the anniversary of when I forgot it.”
