A four-panel SMBC comic. A woman in glasses explains to a small child standing beside her: "They call them 'the post office' because POST means 'after' and people get your letter AFTER it's sent." She continues, "This is a PRE office. You get stuff BEFORE people send it." She then beams while holding a card decorated with hearts and says, "Oh wow! What a beautiful Mother's Day card! So thoughtful of future-you to send something for once!" The child, looking irritated, mutters, "Ok, got it. Will do," then comments, "Wow. Time traveling passive-aggression." The woman, still holding the card, replies, "You'll thank me when you're younger." Votey: a handwritten note on a piece of paper reads, "Dear Mom, I appreciate all the stuff I appear to find stupid and/or incredibly boring."
