Hand-drawn Mother's Day cards make 43 hours, 39 minutes, and 11 seconds of collective labor for four children totally worth it.
The fact that I had to give my tech-savy kids, who sent me an e-card a week ago for my birthday, a pile of crayons and a stack of construction paper with the instructions "get crackin and do a good job; block letters and hearts, please" does not dimish the sentiment at all.
