#shrimp boy

A couple nights ago I was out drinking with a couple of friends, and on our way to get late night hotdogs, one friend bashfully  confessed he didn’t know what to get his mom for Mother’s Day. (Which is admittedly a flippin adorable thing to think about out loud during a Boys Night Out, btw.)

We didn’t have any great ideas as we walked, but when we got to the hotdog place, we noticed they had a sign advertising that they sold shrimp by the pound - “No tails! Eat the whole shrimp!“ - so we suggested he get his mom a pound of shrimp. "Happy Mother’s Day from your Good Shrimp Boy,” we said. “Be a Good Shrimp Boy and get your mom a pound of shrimp. She deserves all the shrimp.”

And then the next morning, kind of hung over, I made some shrimp-boy-themed Mother’s Day cards for my friend, and now I’m sharing them here. Feel free to print them out and give them to your mother, but only if you are also giving her a lot of shrimp for Mother’s Day, or if you are her Shrimp Boy for other reasons.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: making goofs is so much more satisfying when you think of them as gifts instead of work.
