Frustrated

Do you have that place in your house where you keep all the blank cards so when an event presents itself, you're prepared? I do. And in it are several cards for get well, thank you, holiday, and a few birthdays. But nothing resembling a pre-teen birthday wish for a boy. UGH! How is that possible?
