How Did We Celebrate Mother's Day?
-- Guilt, recrimination.
-- Placing panicked calls to florists.
-- Listening to commentary on the neighbors' landscaping habits.
-- Playing Words With Friends with the phone on speaker.
-- Receiving visual reminders of a childhood's worth of awkward haircuts.
-- Being compared unfavorably to other people's children.
-- Answering pointed questions about our footwear.
-- Pretending to be interested in NCIS: Los Angeles.
-- Realizing we're too old for handmade gifts to be considered cute.
-- Eating dinner at 4 PM.
-- Recognizing that we are becoming our mothers.
