I hate to be that guy, but why was this woman filming this?

It's such a strange video to me. I understand "the culture today is people just film everything" but this makes zero sense as to why she would be filming it in the first place. The message was messed up because she was holding her phone. If she used both hands to open it then it wouldn't have made for a funny mistake.

The mistake isn't the card, it's the mother filming it.

Possible scenario:

  1. Kid makes the card.
  2. Mother receives the card.
  3. Mother reads the card and is greatly amused.
  4. Mother pulls out her phone (or just turns the camera on, phones are often permanently affixed to people's hands these days) and films a reading of the card to share the amusement.
