Happy Tervigon Day!

Phone your Brood Mother. Now. Being The Good Son today will get you reprieve for the rest of the year. 42 years on, I still catch 364 days of hard time if I miss this one!

I'm not all into mother's day, it was invented by communists: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women's_Day

In my experience, most women, whatever their stances on gender politics, socio-economics, and the capitalism of the greetings card industry, will still be disappointed by a lack of recognition of Mothers' Day, Valentine's or birthdays.
Don't not do it because you disagree with it, do it for her DESPITE the fact that you disagree with it.

It's like buying the severed reproductive organs of vegetables: it may be a waste of money in your eyes, but it's a romantic gesture in hers!

Um mate, it was a joke. I wasn't being serious, I'm friends with pinko. Another one I say is "I'm not a huge advocate against animal cruelty, Nazis also did so."

It is here in the UK, not sure if its another date across the pond.

Mothers day oddly happens on different date all over the world

*edit*
nothing happened here - really move along move along there was no kickstarting or lost huskies!

I wasn't aware that Mother's Day was being KickStarted

In Ireland, it's always the second Sunday of March which is about the sloppiest way to date an official 'Day' I've ever come across. Incidentally that happens to be today. I believe the UK version is the fourth Sunday of Lent(?) which generally means it falls on the same day as ours but not always...

Basically it's a complete clusterf**k.

It's the latest fashion in everything!


That said I'm glad you found my post, I was sure I'd made it so confused when I couldn't see it in the thread it was supposed to be in! I was worried that I'd gone more mad than normal to the point where I was imagining posting!

Until reading this I was a bit worried I'd missed a phonecall to my mother.

Mother's day is the last Sunday of May here. Yaaay Sweden!

For the record, never try to impress a mum with a fancy e-card that still cost you real money. Sigh.

Mothers day doesn't happen in my house until someone reminds us it mothers day. Usually mum...
