Here's a funny story:
My daughter and husband are shopping for a birthday card for me. They see a yellow card with sparkly flowers. The text reads: Today is a day for celebrating you and the wonderful mother you are…Today is a day to celebrate everything about you. Your warmth, your wisdom…your beauty and spirit. Today is a day for telling you how proud and grateful I am to have you for a mother. Happy Birthday With Love.
The beige woman at the counter says: "Are you sure you want to buy this card?" They are puzzled. What is the problem? She replied: "It’s for black people." She pointed at the card. "See, Mahogany, for black people." I guess black people love their mothers differently.
Are you laughing?
