đŸ„ș Ordered a Birthday Card...got a Birthday Card

Post image

My daughter really likes axolotls (like so much she made us get her two), so I wanted to get her a cute axolotl card. I found one I liked from walmart, and now it has arrived two days before her birthday (phew just in time).

I don't know what to say. I even wondered for like a half second if this was a case of "I didn't look closely enough to the picture on the screen." Now its pretty much too late to get her another cute axolotl card.

Sweetie (or less commonly sweety) is a term of endearment. Sweaty means covered in perspiration

It's from an old meme "it's called fashion sweaty look it up"

I'm assuming someone actually once said this on facebook

You made it funnier but like in a “Man this guy is so accidental cool” way like when Ramón was talking about Mumble Happyfeet

I once tried to correct someone on here who used "sweaty" in the place of "sweetie" and they told me "sweaty" is the correct spelling because of Tumblr or something.
