Awkward is...

[grammarwoman]

Trying to gently point out to your boss that passing around a bereavement card for an employee whose child died in a drowning accident, when said card has a waterfall on the cover, is perhaps not ideal.

I'm very glad that I didn't even have to get very far into it before she gasped and took it back.

Unfortunately, the last card in her stash also had a stock image of water. I guess tears=>water, meaning it's a common theme for bereavement.

I think I'm gonna go home and hug the stuffing out of the Emperor tonight.
