Wrong card: Happy 100th anniversary

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, Oct. 7 (UPI) -- A New Zealand woman said the 100th birthday card she received from Prime Minister John Key mistakenly congratulated her on 100 years of marriage.

Mavis Lawson of Papatoetoe, who turned 100 Tuesday, said she received congratulations from Queen Elizabeth II on her status as a centenarian but the card from the prime minister hailed her "100th wedding anniversary," the New Zealand Herald reported Wednesday.

The card was received by Lawson at Kenderdine Park rest home, where manager Michael Rodger said the mistake caused laughter.

"I can't believe anyone would make that mistake, someone had to type it on there," Rodger said.

A representative for Key said the prime minister does not personally inspect the cards and apologized for the mix-up.

"Mr. Key would like to wish Mavis all the best for her 100th birthday," the representative said.
