<p>It&#8217;s that time of the year isn&#8217;t it? Graduation.</p>
<p>Graduation is when I get into the car (at the last minute) and drive to the dollar store to find they are out of all graduation cards. Then I cuss and get back in my car and drive to the grocery store hoping I&#8217;ll find one there.</p>
<p>With precious little time to spare, I throw a twenty into the envelope and let the kids fight over who licks it, as I speed down the road and try to answer their question&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;Mom, why do we always give people cardboard when they graduate?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Because it makes them laugh and it&#8217;s off color just like me. Besides, college students are always broke and busking may get them their next gallon of gas.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Can I do busking when I go to school?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Sure, Honey, that&#8217;s is our college plan, pure and simple.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t tell Dave Ramsey. Okay?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Okay!&#8221;</p>
<p>Simply,</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Sis</span></strong></p>
