Alternative Birthday Card

I am looking around for a birthday card like this. If anyone of you know where I can get one, please let me know.(I want to add a disclaimer that I am not a grumpy old lady who has no sense of humour. Neither am I against birthdays, especially those who come of age.

But I wish sometimes, I can say the following things.)

Dear ______________,
Congratulations. You have reached a milestone in your life. Welcome to FREEDOM!


With this magic number, you
a) are legally no longer the responsibility of your parents (meaning - they cannot order you around)
b) can stay up as long as you like, and there is no need for curfews
c) are old enough to drive
d) can watch as many ____-rated movies
e) are old enough to do what you like with your money
f) can "Do what I think is right!"
...and there is a whole litany of what you used to fantasize about what an adult life will be like.

You are right!

Welcome to freedom. Welcome to an age of OBLIGATIONS and RESPONSIBILITIES

With this magic number, you
a) are fully responsible for your thoughts and actions.( remember...parents 'cannot order you around!)
b) can stay up as long as you like, and come home whatever time you want....provided you have your OWN HOME!
c) drive your OWN CAR!
d) (are you really that horny?)
e) Yes...'Do whatever you like with your money" will translate to you paying for your food, necessities, needs, wants and the things that you sometimes do not want like "Income Tax and Road Tax!)
f) Unfortunately, "Do what I think is right"...is not always right. You live in a larger community, governed by rules, laws,moral codes, ethics, common sense and even basic human decency. These will over-ride you.
(and the list goes on...)



So have a happy time today. It is a day of celebration.
But if you can spend some time to reflect on what has been said,
then,

"Many Happy Returns. Welcome to the real world!"
May you live life to the fullest.

Lots of love,
ME
