Retrosketches #13 ~ Graduation Card

Gluten Oben this Tuesday!

As I've hopped around the blogs the last several months, I've seen fellow crafters playing in the Retrosketches challenges and this is my first time joining in.  This week's sketch:

(I love how these sketches are literally sketches, complete with coffee/tea cup stains!  It was very hard for me not to add the stain to my card!)

I made a graduation card:

The twins were four years old when their father graduated from law school.  Adam made me so proud when he said, "Daddy has his congraduations today!"  A chip off the old block.

Which reminds me.  When Daddy (our son) was just learning to speak, I commented to Mister on a Sunday drive through the countryside, "You know when you stop and think about it, you could really mess up a kid.  What if we told him that horses were cows and cows were horses?  I mean, he doesn't know."  Mister smiled a bit condescentedly and drove me back to the care center.

Well, of course, I didn't do that to our son, but I did tell him the story when he had his own sons.  Now he thinks it's really funny to embellish lie and tell people that I DID teach him the wrong words for things.  As if.
