This is an actual phone conversion between myself and The Boyfriend, that took place last week when his sister was visiting for the weekend to celebrate her birthday…
Me: Have you got Rach a card and pressie for her Birthday yet?
Boyfriend: No
Me: You do know it’s her Birthday today and we’re seeing them tonight don’t you.
Boyfriend: Yeah I know, but she’s already been round this morning so she knows I haven’t.
Me: She’s been round? So… did you just tell her you’re a terrible brother and you forgot??
Boyfriend: No! I gave her all those out of date tokens of ours for the pier… and I found one of my old birthday cards and just crossed the names out and changed them.
Me: You gave her an old birthday card with the names changed? Wow, so you ARE a shit brother.
Boyfriend: …I drew her a picture too. It took me ages.
Me: Oh god, what did you draw.
Boyfriend: I’m not telling you… I might have got carried away.
Me: …tell me.
Boyfriend: OK, but for the record she thought it was really funny.
Me: Oh god…
Boyfriend: *giggling* It was a vagina looking at itself in the mirror.
He wasn’t lying either…

Haha, this is brilliant. What the hell is that picture? It looks like a man trapped inside a nut.
I’ve now learnt not to buy men cards. My Dad actually told me not to buy him any birthday/Father’s Day/ Christmas cards and save all that money every year (possibly about £7) and buy him a bottle of wine. It’s a win-win situation because I don’t need to worry about forgetting and he always shares the wine with me!
Update – Just read that last line – A vagina look at itself in the mirror!? Hahaha, that is hilarious.
My brother and I do stuff like this all the time! We’ve given cards just like this. Growing up, instead of wrapping my gifts he would bundle them up in a pillow case or a blanket. In retaliation, I’ve stuck his presents in tampon boxes
Hahaha brilliant, at least it’s very creative!
