Oh, goody gumdrops, it's Mother's Day

So, the nonsense that is Mother's Day has arrived in the UK. Apparently, we're meant to spend the next 24 hours or so showering our mothers with pointless, expensive gifts and telling them how much we love them by giving them these awful bloody cards. Right, so that means we can be good kids by giving them pressies today and not say anything the other 364 days of the year? Yeah, right... :rolleyes:

Anyway, what will you be doing this mother's day, and what have you got for Mum?
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

    If I'd written something like "Mother's Day is here, that wonderful day of the year in which we shower our dear mothers with wonderful presents", you'd have either thought I was being sarcastic, or said it was downright nauseating, only not in such terms.

    JOY. I came in just now and went up and said Happy Mothers Day to my mum.

    She mumbled and went back to sleep.

    I got her a card and a pen.

    Not just any pen. One that is fluffy, purple and aesthetically pleasing.

    OK, fair enough. The day itself is alright. What I'm commenting on is the increased commercialism of the event. Like Christmas every year, there's more pressure to get something. Isn't it possible to say you love your mother on other days too?

    Mama gets a me-to-you plague thingy with a nice 'I love my mummsy' message on it and a North and South DVD she's mentioned.

    To be honest, my mums ace, she's not appreciated half as much as she should be (thank my cunt of a brother for that) and she deserves to be showered in love and affection everyday.

    Aw...I loves me mama.

    I bought my mum half a bag of skittles.

    Only kidding. She says she just wants me to get her fish and chips, so fair 'nuff.

    I don't "believe" (celebrate?) in Mother's Day and neither does my darling mammy, so I didn't get her anything.

    I had a good chuckle at all the tat for sale in town today though.

    As did I. My mum would probably hurt me if I bought her some of that shite.

    I was at Asda earlier, and there were hardly any flowers left.

    How pathetic.

    They had some nice purple tulips so I got some.

    that it'd sold out for MOther's day.

    I don't mind commercial presents sometimes, you can get some great bargains on red roses on the 15th feb.

    But having said that, nobody wants red roses, because red roses are cheap. Just like their county.
