Have a Little Mercy

Posted by Laureen Mahler

Times when I could really use a Mercy Card to express my emotions:

• When I don't want to do the dishes even though I didn't cook.
• When I don't get enough sleep.
• When I do something dumb but don't want to admit it.
• When I know I'm right but want to be nice about it.
• When it's time for makeup sex, but I'm too stubborn to say so.

Mercy Cards have captured that perfect balance between apologizing and saying what you really mean:

[$12 box of 24, Set Editions]

The notecard box comes with two each of the following messages: "I am right, you are wrong," "You are right, I am wrong," "Never, ever bring this up again," "I am in a bad mood and taking it out on you," "Shut your mouth and take off your clothes," "I don't even know what we're arguing about," and, simply, "Mercy."

If this product had a tagline, I think it would be something along the lines of: "Making the hard parts of a relationship much more concise."
