“My Father’s Day card. I know you’re upset because I didn’t do it   47  .”

“Elizabeth, that was the __48   card in the whole class. It was so   49   that it made me cry.”

Elizabeth was so   50   that she ran out of the classroom.

Dear Mom,

I know you work really hard to be both a mommy and a(n)   53  . I want to thank you and  54   you a happy Father’s Day!

                                                        Love,
