This weekend we celebrate Mother's Day. When I was a kid, and both my parents were still alive, I often wondered why they got a special day. You know: Mother's Day, Father's Day. For that matter, everyone got a day - St. Patrick, St George, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, $1.99 and hot cross buns (oh that $1.99 day was so popular a whole bunch of stores turned it into 365 days a year, and that last one I think was actually Easter) - everyone except kids.
