A bed mattress? No problem, they have a mattress for your Mom. A restaurant? No problem, they have a special meal at a special price for that day. How about laser treatment centers? No problem, even they have specials for your Mom this week to let her know that you think she should get rid of unwanted hair. How about Kmart having a special on shaving blades? Yep, your Mom will like that too, let her know. How about car dealerships? They’re always ready for every occasion, including occasions revolving around your Mom. How about flowers? They have special flowers just for Mother’s day. You know, the same flowers that they had just for Cinco De Mayo. And for New Year’s. And for christmas, thanksgiving, all the birthdays, July 4th, labor day and valentine’s day.
I guess one is so busy throughout the whole year that one can only appreciate and spend time with their mother on May 15th, after spending some time shopping for her on May 14th. The rest of the year is dedicated to other more important things, like Father’s Day, Cinco De Mayo, Labor Day, Halloween, Flag Day, Easter, etc. Of course, each of these occasions deserves a few gifts too, the same gifts you bought for your Mom for last year’s Mother’s day.
How about you? What are you going to buy or do for your Mother’s day? What are you going to get from your children? Any opinion on this topic?
Here’s a picture taken on the 5th of this month, May, while driving on the 5 freeway. It was a nice day with cool breezes at random intervals, as far as I can remember.
