A Different Way To Celebrate Mother’s Day

If you want to give your mom a Mother’s Day she’ll always remember, make this Mother’s Day the one you meet your future husband or wife. Curious yet? Read on . . . cause this will be one Mother’s Day your mom will never forget!
I’ve got a brand new Mother’s Day tradition for all of you to start today. This will be the first one I’ve celebrated in quite some time, due to the fact that my girlfriend celebrates it. So by default I have now become someone who celebrates it too. The kind of Mother’s Day I’m celebrating, however, is the kind I think you should be celebrating.
As a little kid, my Mother used to remind me when Mother’s Day was approaching by saying something like “You know it’s Mother’s Day on Sunday.” I would inevitably respond by asking “So when is it Kid’s Day?”
My Mother would respond by saying “Every day but Mother’s Day is Kid’s Day!” So being the wiseass I was as a child, I’d respond “OK, then I’ll get you a present on Mother’s Day and you can get me a present for all of the Kid’s Days to show your appreciation to me for crawling through your womb X years ago.”
Also, if any of you grew up in a Jewish family with a Jewish Mother and a Jewish Grandmother, then Mother’s Day was always “When are you going to settle down and give me grandchildren (or great grandchildren) day.” Whenever my Grandmother or Mother would say something like that I’d always say “It’s not great grandchildren day, it’s Mother’s Day!”
You know, nothing would make your mother happier than if you would meet someone. So let’s start a new tradition for Mother’s Day.
Instead of taking your mother out to brunch on Mother’s Day, take her out with you to meet someone of the opposite sex. Every time you see a cute woman (or a cute guy), let your mother approach them, get their phone number and arrange the date. Hell, they do that in India so why not do it in the U.S.?
So let’s start a whole new Mother’s Day tradition here. Take your mother to Whole Foods and have her approach that group of cute women in the produce section. You could also take your mother to the gym and have her talk to that cute woman on the stairmaster you’ve always wanted too meet. It would work great . . . just point out who you like and have your mother do all the work!
If I were single, my mom would actually do that. So if It ever happens, I’ll experiment and report back the adventures!
lol interesting idea, but I think I’d rather stick to my old way of doing things
After reading this a 2nd time, I realize that this is innovative David. Using your own mom as a prop. As a conversation starter. Who would’ve thunk?
Happy Mom’s Day to mom’s on the blog and Happy Ladies Day to those who are not. I started this when I started working for Wal Mart. Yesterday I attended a funeral of a friend and wished her Happy Mom’s Day I knew it was a sad day for her but just be thankful for the parents you have for you only get a set in this life. So take care of the ones you have…I pray that all is well between those and their mothers for they were the ones who helped give us life. But also if it were not for dad also we would not be here.
his mother happy mom’s day. Sorry forgot to add. I am thankful for the girls I have and can imagine what she is going through.
Considering the fact that I am seeing someone now, I have actually started talking to my mother about her to get her more involved and want to meet her. Now, the two of them can’t wait til they meet. It’s a good idea, David.
We all know how mom’s love to be a matchmaker for their boy or girl.
LOL David! This would be super fun to do except…. what would that say about you?
“You are a mama’s boy”
“You aren’t manly enough to talk to a woman”?
Those are some pretty harsh “impressions” that a woman could pick up from you if you were doing that game.
Besides, don’t they have a TV show that kinda does that already? There’s that dating show about meeting the mom before you meet the daughter… forgot the name of it.
“Mommy wing Woman”
A girl comfortable with herself would find it hilarious, if the combo Mom Son/Daughter is a dynamic duo, then this could be a great way of meeting someone else. I would sit down and have tea with them right on the spot.
As a mom I can way too easily see myself do this thing. My husband actually did this for his older son, when they were at the beach and this girl turned out to be a great girlfriend.
Date My Mom – it’s pretty hilarious…
David,
No offense, but I think you were smoking some Pineapple Express today when you wrote this blog. Or just before you wrote this blog.
What Kheim said. I don’t want my mother walking around talking to every cute girl in the restaurant or wherever, pointing over at me and saying, “I’d like you to meet my son. He’s a real nice boy. You two should go out together. I trained him real good. He picks up after himself & everything. I’ll even pay for your first date together. What time should he pick you up? Yada yada yada.”
I read part of what someone said: It looks like someone has paid a visit to hillbilly country and was thinking Mayberry. Hey what about shotgun weddings?
