On mother’s day

Hey guys, here it is again, the second Sunday of the month of May.

Ah, with the bloom in the florist’s business, the passing around of chocolate and the lingering fragrance of the carnation, how can one forget that today is the much celebrated (and for some, dreaded) Mother’s Day?

Here are some of my thoughts on this very special day:

1. The debate of the century. You have A who says ‘we should celebrate mother’s day everyday, this so-called mother’s day is a scam by the industry to boost consuming’ and then you have B who says ‘we should take this opportunity to express the love for our mothers’. Which is incredibly stupid, because seriously, they’re both true. I am always irritated because if I do something on this day, people are like fighting to talk at my face about the real meaning of mother’s day and how I’m being conned because I bought a cake. And if I don’t do something, again, people fight to spit at my face on how I’m insensitive.
   
   I take good care of my mum everyday. And while everyone is being so nice to their mum today, I really don’t want my mum to feel left out, so I’m do a little extra for her today. What’s wrong with people.
   
   
2. You have no idea how annoying it is to have Facebook packed with lovey-dovey-‘Mum I love you’ statuses. Some people even go all out and post like 1000 word statueses/poems declaring their love for their mom, or like naked baby photos with their mums bathing them or something. I mean, everything would be fine, if I don’t actually know how rude some of them treat their mums in real life. Omg, the hypocrites in this world. What’s the point of that 1000 word status of love and gratitude if (A) your mum is not your Facebook friend, she won’t get to read it and (B) you don’t plan to tell her in real life either.
    
   
3. This has nothing to do with anyone. This is me wanting to share #the awkward moment when you cook your mum 5 course meal for mother’s day and she ends up getting a really bad case of diarrhea #facepalm #failure #welcome-to-my-life. Omg the irony. My mum is really amenable, but I think I should go talk to her now before she considers disowning me, fml ‘_>’
