Little girl pens grim birthday card for mom's significant other

Well, she certainly gets right to the point.

Ah, children. Full of laughter, innocence, and unparalleled levels of snarky honesty.

Redditor StargasmSargasm shared this heartwarming birthday card from their girlfriend's daughter. The message is direct– this little girl has no time for useless formalities. She makes her feelings for aging, for birthdays, for the user receiving this card remarkably clear.

This snarky statement also contains a chilling point about mortality, reminding StargasmSargasm that their time on this earth is running out. That grim message is juxtaposed with a cheery heart-shaped balloon and an innocent-looking "Happy Birthday!" which serves drive her point home.

One commenter, however, was able to look on the bright side.

Even if the message is a little grim, this little girl definitely gets points for clear communication and creativity.
