I got out a set of watercolors, sketched, inked, and watercolored a few clematis blooms winding around a fencepost, added a few sentiments on the back and presented it to my mom instead of a card. (I looked. I didn't like anything. It's hard to capture the essence of your very own mom in a card)
It was amateurish to be sure, but my mother appreciates it as if I were Michael Fricking Angelo.

What a coincidence. I bought a clematis plant today. Yes, nothing you can buy storebought will ever compare to one you make yourself. You spent the time on her and created something from scratch. None of her friends will have anything like it.

I called my mom very late in the day, she was on the road (no, not walking the streets) so I halfway had an excuse for my tardiness, but still I felt a little guilty. To ease my embarassment I turned the tables on her. I said, "Hi Mom.... Don't you have something to say?" and after a few prompts she laughed and said, "Happy Mothers Day!"
Its great when your parents get old, you can really mess with their heads.

I'm still waiting for that one. I got the "you never call" lecture--even after I reminded her that I called her...

Maybe next year we'll just have everyone post their Mothers Day wishes in the F*** Everyone Thread in the GC.
I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen
