What are you getting your Mom for Mother's Day?

Recommended Posts

This year I'll be giving my Mom a gift certificate to a local flower nursery.  I considered going the usual un-original FTD route but then decided she'd probably enjoy picking out and planting her own flowers.

Times like these I wish my parents had separate cell phone numbers so that I can text my Dad and ask her what nursery she goes to.  Instead I had to use Google Maps to find out what ones were nearby. 

I'll of course be giving all of YOUR moms the usual pearl necklace. :banana:

What are the rest of you doing?

That's a really nice gift; so nice that I almost feel bad about pointing out that you can use a cell phone to actually speak with people, and were you to do that with your dad you could find out the info you wanted.  Almost.  :D

Mom and Dad share a phone and she always answers though.

Do you never speak to him during the discussion?  :unsure: 

OK, forget it, it's a nice gift, you are a good son.  :cheers:

Sadly not too much as he's not much for phone conversation.  Just the way he is.  :dunno:

Don't want to tip her off by talking to him off speaker.

They can't help themselves as non-functioning idiots like them can't survive in the real world...

Does Mother's Day include Mother's with penises or are we just talking about the birthing person.

My brother and I struggle with this more and more each year.  My parents are retired and have just about everything they need.  Usually get them a gift card to one of the restaurants near them.

Doesn't apply to us old timers. That's more of a dillema for whatever follows GenZ

Yes, because making a joke regarding another thread topic is exactly the same as an unprovoked personal attack with the very first reply in a topic regarding Mother's Day.  :rolleyes:

If you haven't noticed I don't disagree with Hawkeye regarding AR-15s.

Congrats.  Now you have me thinking that folks like MDC are right.  I feel like I need a rape shower now.

 

 

 

 

Nothing personal @MDC, I just chose you as an example of being one of his biggest fans.  :lol:

i get her the same thing every year.  Orchids.  

Occasionally, I have given her Roses, Tulips, whatever...and I always get a call saying that I made a mistake and should only get her orchids. I've learned my lesson and the answer will always be ORCHIDS.

Nothing. She moved to California to start a business with her special friend Jamar when I was just a kid. Haven’t seen her since.
