Just when I thought I had seen it all:

" Touch base with Ethan Jones and he'll hand you his business card. He'd love to meet for lunch ... but will have to ask mom first.The entrepreneurial two-year-old never leaves home without a supply of cards tucked in his bag."

That makes me feel even worse. I clicked on this link for the top ten reasons someone should have mommy cards:

This one is not comforting:
If your child is lost you can give out the card with their picture on it to help find them

At first, I thought that this was little different from the traditional calling card, so it wasn't that bad. Then I realized that the company selling the kiddy cards charged about 10x100 times more than normal business cards - that is messed up.

Ugh. This is just a bad idea. I can't justify it. I can't provide you with well thought out reasons. My gut just tells me this is wrong.

I found reason 10 to be even more discomforting: "Make yourself smile each time you look at them!"

You beat me to it. The first thing I thought was $50 for 50 is outrageous. You should be able to get 5x for 5%.

Business cards are free (for 250 per order), shipping is less than $10. I've been using them for years. Their "slow" delivery is usually about a week to 10 days, not the three weeks they claim, trying to get you to order faster service.
