Is Mother's Day This Sunday????
Posted 5/7/2010 4:07:00 PM
Of course Mother's Day is this Sunday so those well-organized sons and daughters have usually booked a table by now at mom's favorite restaurant, purchased tickets to a play or at least mailed a card, while those forgetful or thoughtless children will be searching for a florist Sunday morning! Interesting that historians think Mother's Day has its origins in ancient Greek celebrations, while Father's Day was only invented in 1910. What does that say about us dads?!

Mother's Day falls on different days across the globe, which can be a real problem for scatter-brained kids like my daughter who lives in the UK where Mother's Day takes place in March. Of course by the time it rolls around here in Boston, it's long slipped her mind. I think she's managed to remember a few years (with the help of a fatherly email that proves Father's Day is also an important holiday!), but the success rate isn't too high. I think she might have to move to France where Mother's Day is the last Sunday in May – giving her plenty of time to get that card in the trans-Atlantic mail. The only problem is poor Mrs. Excitement would have to learn French!
