Love you.... but made of trash


This is a card that I made for Kirti and Kiran with the remains of a pencil when it’s sharped. I remember doing cards back when I was a child with my lovely sister Uma, wanted to show the girls the creative side of me and sure enough it got back fired ;)

I was very happy with the outcome of my card, excited to give my babies. When I saw Kiran I showed her the card…..”This is for you baby, amma love you”. Kiran looked at the card and said “its nice amma… but this is made of trash”. I was shocked by her reaction and said “but you see what amma has written on it..” Kiran said “ yea that is why I said I love it… but it’s still made of trash” well I left it with that thought and did not want to push it more.

Kirti is there at home and I show her the card, her reaction was very welcoming “amma this is fantastic, I love it, you’re so sweet to make such a beautiful card, and I did not know you could do stuff like this….. “She when on and on. Kiran it’s doing her best to make Kirti realise that it’s made of trash but kirti is not prepared to listen. Then I told Kirti about Kiran’s reaction and kirti said that was rude of her and was trying to explain to Kiran. Kiran’s final take was “I love the card and it’s beautiful…… buuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttt it’s made of trash”
