Remember to observe Mother’s Day this Sunday!
There – I reminded you once, which is exactly what I do for my husband. His mother believes that any thoughtful observance he manages (on alternate years) is entirely his own doing, and that I am out of the picture, having tripped and fallen into a faulty particle transporter, and am now lost in a black hole…Which makes her attempts to hook him up with more compliant women A-Okay.
On a more positive note, you may be surprised at the average amount of money spent on a Mother’s Day present or celebration, which doesn’t seem to be a fair trade for ‘six days of labor.” My advice is to err on the plus side. Jimmy – a realist, knows that we all torture ourselves to find just the right gift. We then send flowers. ..Not that flowers aren’t lovely, beautiful and a wonderful messenger of love. We might stand a chance of sending the ones we want if we started out with the idea to send them! In other news, the cicadas are coming! They’ll be hungry and frisky after a 17-year nap, and Jimmy shares some of their favorite pick-up lines.
