My son-in-law didn’t follow instructions for the Mother’s Day card I bought

A woman bought a Mother’s Day card for her daughter and asked her 10- and 7-year-old grandsons to sign it, but the son-in-law chose not to give it and told her to save it for next year.

Dear Eric: I had a Mother’s Day card for my daughter, but needed her sons, ages 10 and 7, to sign it. Since I did not see them in time for Mother’s Day, I gave it to my daughter to give to them.

When I inquired about the card, my daughter’s husband said he had decided not to give the card because he had already done cards for her. He said, “Save it for next year.”
