The other day I was not very discretely reminding my children that Mother’s Day is right around the corner and that usually husbands and children do something nice for their wives/mother that day.
Branson is my most thoughtful gift giver by far and he piped up and asked me what other people do to celebrate Mother’s Day. I explained that sometimes people make dinner for their mom, or take their mom out to dinner, or make a nice card for her, or do extra chores for her, or make her breakfast in bed!
He had this puzzled look on his face…really puzzled. He asked me, “How would I make breakfast while I was in my bed? It would be such a pain to take all the ingredients to my room and I can’t even cook down there”.
Apparently he thought he was literally supposed to cook breakfast while he was in his bed! And my friends, that’s how Mother’s Day goes when you live with a house full of boys!
