12thThe Bias of Greeting Cards

(from left) Lady, Toby, and Brownie

Lady, Toby, Brownie, and Rainbow (Rainbow is the turtle; not pictured here) realized with staggering horror that greeting cards companies distinguish between Mother’s Day Cards (From the Kids) and Mother’s Day Cards (From the Pets). They meant to protest this aberration but they forfeited any further consideration to chase Spera (the cat; not pictured here), who had also come to gawk at the atrocity. Rainbow (the turtle) found herself suddenly alone and gleefully crawled away in another vain attempt to discover an escape route. Commentators are currently speculating on whether or not Spera was deployed as an intentional diversionary tactic meant to prevent any protests. Oh, cruel greeting cards companies, how devious you are. How devious.

(P.S. Spera managed to elude capture but refuses to respond to accusations regarding her behavior. Rainbow, on the other hand, failed to camouflage herself adequately among the white stones outlining the vegetable garden–maybe she suffers from colorblindness or has, like, really poor self-perception–and ended up back in her terrarium.)
