first world gel pen problems

[ordinal]

I have the best gel pen—it writes in green but then gold spreads out from the middle, so you end up with gold letters outlined in green. How christmassy is that? If it works. If it doesn't work properly you just end up with green, and if you close the card too quickly you end up with smeared letters on the other side of the card.

I felt obliged to write apologies for the smeared letters.
