My husband is convinced that my parents are trying to send him a message via the greeting cards they send us. Twice now the header has read something to the effect of:
For a Special Daughter and "Son"
He thinks the son in quotation marks has a hidden meaning, as in
"we'll-say-it-in-quotations-because-you-can-be-easily-replaced" OR "we-have-our-eyes-on-you-buddy" OR "we-know-you-aren't-really-our-son-and-we'll-treat-you-in-kind"
What he doesn't know is that my parents aren't really the evil nemeses of superheroes who think things on such elaborate levels. My mother was probably just trying to pick out a card that acknowledges us both on a not-so-annoying level.
For now, however, I'll keep feeding his paranoia. It's more fun that way.

Gotta go with your husband on that one. Ouch.
Very cute.
I can see how your "husband" may misconstrue the greeting-card's quotes.
;-D

Mmm... I wonder why the greeting card company put son in quotation marks?
More importantly, what drew your parents to buying that card?
Mmmmm... interesting...
divide & rule - safe & effective policy..)))
I don't know, Mel, maybe you should take offense at the special adjective. We all know "special" is just code for "bless her heart". On the other hand, it wasn't in quotes.
