I quickly noticed when I stopped by the greeting card section of several stores that there were hardly any stepfather cards for Father’s Day. Don’t these greeting card companies realize we’re living in the 21st century now? You know, where more than half of marriages end up in divorce, and a kid could grow up having 3 different stepfathers by the time he reaches his twenties? Really people, this isn’t Norman Rockwell’s country anymore, so get a flipping clue.

I must have eyeballed hundreds of different cards looking for something appropriate. In the end I finally gave up and handed my stepfather a re-used Christmas card instead.

Fortunately he got a chuckle over it.
