You open the card to find:

Poor Maddie wanted to look at it more but I was so afraid it’d be either ripped in half, written over or lost under the couch, I grabbed it and saved it to show G. Tomorrow I’ll let her check the box that says she already has “Madeline & the Gypsies” although she’ll tell you otherwise.

 

We ain’t none of us getting any younger…
