Because You Care. Just a Little TOO Much.

in Rachel's "Brilliant" Marketing Ideas,Utter Silliness

On our long date Saturday of having all the time in the world to talk and laugh, Chris and I came up with something that is very “needed” in today’s market.

You know those overly nosy/probing/into-everyone’s-personal-lives people? They might be at work, at church, a friend, or even a family member. They are the ones that come up to anyone, in front of as many people as possible, and loudly ask them intrusive questions about their private business. You know the ones.

You know how uncomfortable you feel when you witness one of these intrusions, or, worse yet, are the TARGET of such encroachment?

Well, it would be so much nicer if those oh-so-rude-people could just send people cards, rather than feeling the need to air everyone’s dirty laundry and make all within ear shot as uncomfortable as if they were wearing a pair of leather pants five sizes too small, don’t you think?

So Chris and I have decided that there is a need for:

TMI Greeting Cards
“Because you Care. Just a little TOO Much.”

Here are our first line of cards:

Card A:

Outside:
TMI Tubes O

Inside:
TMI Tubes I

Card B:

Outside:
TMI Disowned O

Inside:
TMI Disowned I

Card C:

Outside:
TMI Divorce

Inside:
TMI Divorce I

Card D:

Outside:
TMI Episi O

Inside:

TMI Episi I
Card E:

Outside:
TMI Hemmorrhoids O

Inside:
TMI Hemmorrhoids I

Card F:

Outside:

TMI Homebirth

Inside:
TMI Homebirth I

Card G:

Outside:
TMI Paternity

Inside:
TMI Paternity I
Card H:

Outside:

TMI Rehab O

Inside:
TMI Rehab I

Ahem. Yes, these cards should lessen the awkwardness quite nicely, don’t you think?

I love the cards. They are too funny. Is sad though that people tend to pry that much.

LOL!! Those are amazing! If you ever needed another job you could always go to work for Hallmark's "Saturday" line of cards. Those would fit right in!

And I agree with Ann Marie. I'm shocked that that card hasn't been made yet.

Those cards are hilarious. Can you print me about 3 of the second one. I really need that so I won't be that obnoxious person who says it to their face. LYB
I just read Ann Marie's comment, oh so true.

I have to add along the same line as Ann Marie the "When are you going to get married" or "Why aren't you married" card.

These are pretty funny, but you are also missing "Don't you know what causes that?" when someone finds out you are expecting #3 or more…and only one person has been concerned enough to ask how we clean up after a birth. I just told them we don't clean up, we leave it for the animals…seriously?

LOL Now those were funny.
However … I might be having a stupid day, but I didn't get #1.
