Anti-Flag

This year for her birthday my mother told me exactly what she wanted. In past years she has responded with the typical "Oh, I don't know, I don't need anything, I'm a mother, I have guilt when you buy me gifts, etc, etc." Since I have gotten the typical mother response, I have sent the typical gift when a special lady in your life will not give up what she wants - flowers.

However, this year she said that she wanted a spring/summer flag for the house. So, I was like OK, I can do this. Then she added,

"Also, don't get me a flag with a bear on a chaise lounge, drinking a beer."

"..."

Ok Mom.....Wasn't sure if I should be insulted by that comment which implies I have no taste or THRILLED the pressure was off to not get one very specific kind of flag (which doens't actually exist). I mean what's not love about bears, beer, or chaise lounges? Especially when the magic of all three can be combined on a flag which can proudly be waived in front of your home! Basically her comment sparked a 15 year old desire in me to do exactly what she told me not to. Therefore, I immediately started searching for the most random flags in America. I found these but let me say I spent A LOT of time looking for flags and it was not easy. Most flags are pretty uggs but these were some favs of mine:

This basically sums my family up....


This one is called Kitten Mischief!! Also known as Crazy Cat Lady Part Duex.



This might be a close second to the bear drinking on the chaise lounge...

Ok this + image below equals my Mom's worst nightmare (on a flag). I think it equals an AWESOME and rare BEACH PARTY (on a flag).
