My dad didn't bother reading the card before he bought it

I wonder what was going into your dad head: "For my Wife" YUP GOOD ENOUGH

gnarlyRG · 5 months

what if I told you...your dad has a secret black wife and mixed up the cards.

"Let's see...pink...there's a heart andddddddd yep, an envelope, too!"

"Perfect!"

Is this what's meant by 'playing the race card'?

I bought my mother a card from both my sister and I. Only thing was, I only read the part on the right side.

EDIT: Not Spanish at all.

jetmax25 · 5 months

anybody else interested on what the inside of the card says?

ajdellinger · 5 months

In your dad's defense, that card is oddly specific.

TIL Americans have black-people cards.

She's only black below the waist if you know what I mean.

I would do that on purpose, just as a joke.

No, your dad read the card.

He just gave the wrong card to the wrong wife.

whippletransfer · 5 months

Right card, just gave it to the wrong wife.

freezingkiss · 5 months

Oh no he di'int!

Trapped_in_Reddit · 5 months

Great, now she'll never go back.

XeonProductions · 5 months

typical man mistake...only read the bold highlighted text. All I saw at first was "For My Wife -- Proud, confident, gorgeous."

JoshCSB · 5 months

What does your mom look like?

NoDiceChicago · 5 months

But if it said "There's something about a proud white woman" it would have been 100% racist.

Hoffman5982 · 5 months

I actually did this to my (now ex) girlfriend. My first hint should have been the lack of white people on the cover..

I_HUGS_CATS · 5 months

Actually, I heard your mom had a little bit of black in her recently.

duckandcover · 5 months

Once you go black....

Anyway, I once bought my wife a for Husband Anniversary card. Very memorable. I highly recommend it.

kingofbigmac · 5 months

It could have been a joke. Her face seemed happy.

you are a beautiful strong black woman  
        who don't need no man

Mom/wife will laugh it off because at least he remembered! +1 Dad

guntfuddler · 5 months

The fact that someone's actually mass-produced that card is a testament to how far the whole "its only racist if a white person does it" ideology has come.

Proletariat07 · 5 months

Our dads think and act alike.

ZackVixACD · 5 months

She looks black to me.

khaleesiofdothraki · 5 months

Apparently when my brother was little, he bought my parents a Christmas card that was for "Dad and his wife."

[deleted] · 5 months

A while ago I got a card for my Dad. It had a gorilla on the front, and I liked gorillas at the time. Except it said happy birthday to somebody who has been "like" a father to me.

big_buttholes · 5 months

i always deliberately buy my (white) parents cards marketed to people other than them. for mother's day i got my mom a 'its your first birthday!' card.

dcroni · 5 months

My ex-boyfriends mom bought the same christmas card for his dad as I bought for him. All I remember was that there was a grumpy old man on the front.

CaughtInTheNet · 5 months

he read it. humor.

knightofhemplar · 5 months

Or he did, and bought it in humor. Cause I'd totally do that.

Alaira314 · 5 months

I had to give my (white) father one of the "black" cards for christmas one year, because I'd forgotten to buy one until the 23rd or so and had to give him something to hold the gift card that was his gift. I was aware of it though, and altered the inside with marker. A little effort turns a wtf into a lol.

Cmethvin · 5 months

I almost bought the, same card! Thank god I "glanced" at the front... Unfortunately, the one I bought, had a reference to me having a "pre-made family", which I don't... Surprise?!? Those cards are getting harder and harder. They're trying to make us READ for Pete's sake!

WHO let the MILF out?

j00jy · 5 months

Busted.

Please tell me he made a joke about giving it to the wrong wife.

purrrfect · 5 months

She was so happy all the color drained out of her...

akgreenman · 5 months

Does anyone else see this as a reflection of our shallow, mechanical society? We buy a card for a made up holiday because we are told to by Hallmark.. This guy just saw the word "Wife" and grabbed it, considering that the minimum standard for how much he had to care was completed.

RSWoody · 5 months

The best save would have been "Aww damn it! I gave it to the wrong wife..."

Disgruntled__Goat · 5 months

Reading cards? Ain't nobody got time for that.

Paultimate79 · 5 months

Anyone else amused how this is generally accepted as a fine card, but if you changed black woman to 'white woman' it suddenly has a very hateful feel?

Whats up with that? i cant be the only one.

JuanGolbez · 5 months

You think that's funny? I bought a Mother's Day card for my 3 year old daughter to give to my wife, and it had this really long diatribe about how awesome moms are, so I didn't read the whole thing. My wife read the card (given to her, of course, by my daughter) and started laughing. "I'm a single mom?" Apparently in the middle somewhere it mentioned Mom being alone and having to be both Mom and Dad.

Fail.

donggg · 5 months

If the card said 'for a beautiful white woman like you' Al Sharpton would be up in arms.

Wooo affirmative action.

Zadkovic · 5 months

This one for my white wife and this one for my black wife. Oh shit...

XDGSDHRASADGA · 5 months

Fucking mother's day.

iamhowardxd · 5 months

Funny if it said "my finger in" instead.

Slunkin · 5 months

Or maybe he just got the cards "mixed up." ::Cue dramatic music::

nbshark · 5 months

If it said "White woman" instead, it would have been racist... So why isn't this as well...?

[deleted] · 5 months

Where are the "White women" cards?

HatersOnlyFriend · 5 months

It's funny because there's probably one one or two black women in the entire country who are both mothers and wives!

SasparillaTango · 5 months

This just gave me the greatest idea. Normally cards are boring as hell, who really cares what is written in them by someone else? So here is how we spice it up and add some humor; Card roulette. When you get to the pharmacy DONT LOOK AT THE CARDS. Just blindly pick one at random, and then when it's opened you can all have a good laugh, or groan at how awful it is an say "Better luck next year!"
