Today on my drive into work, I was thinking about why I buy The Woman My Father is Married To a Mother's Day card. Everyone seemed to be wondering about it yesterday. If I don't like her, why do I bother getting her a card? The answer is that I do it to score points for my team. Families are competitive by nature. Sibling rivalry does not end with childhood. Even as an adult you don't want your siblings to do too much better than you do and make you look bad. When the people you are competing against are step siblings, this rivalry is multiplied 100 fold.

Today on my drive into work, I was thinking about Mother's Day and how every year I have a hard time finding just the right card to buy for That Woman My Father Is Married To. Mother's Day is less than a month away, so I need to start looking for one now. You see, greeting cards are funny things for my family. They are exchanged on certain holidays for reasons having more to do with diplomacy than affection.

( I'm sending you a little card to let you know that I am utterly indifferent towards you... )
