Back when I was very young, when I was in grade school, when I was watching too much Johnny Carson and David Letterman when I should've been sleeping because it was a school night, I made a joke about Mother's Day.
I think I cracked it during some dinner with some relatives. I said, "What's the big deal about Mother's Day?! Every day we kiss them and hug them. So, isn't every day Mother's Day anyway?"
Nobody got the joke.
I thought it was funny.
(I was a sarcastic little kid.)
That night I saw my mom crying in the bedroom. She told me that she got hurt with what I said. I tried to explain the joke, but that didn't matter. I said sorry and hugged her and kissed her.
I stayed up the whole night putting together a crayon-drawn card. On the front, it showed a little kid holding up a placard that said, "Mother's Day? No way!" And when you opened the card, it showed the same kid, but this time the copy on the placard said, "Celebrate Mother's Day Everyday!" Well, I think it was something like that.
Seems like even way back then, my big mouth got me into trouble and I always used words to try to get myself out of trouble, to smooth things out.
Got this text from myGlobe's quote of the day:
During Sunday School Class, a small boy was told that it's God who makes bad people good.
"I know," said the little boy, "but mother's help a lot, too."
Happy Mother's Day to moms everywhere!
