, m o M o r e h r e p u s e t a m i t l u e th At least once a year we should make a point of saying THANK YOU to our moms. One could say Mother’s Day was invented to make sure we don’t forget. While UK moms are traditionally celebrated in March, the German »Muttertag« is the 2nd Sunday in May, this year’s is on the 14th.
Mother knows best! That’s hard to argue with. After all, the very first thing your mother did for you was to give you the best present even: life. And after that? That’s when mum really came into her own: While we tried to figure out how to toddle, she kept us well fed, cured all our little aches and injuries and dressed us in outfits ranging from the utterly adorable to the unspeakably hideous – probably the reason so many family photos are mysteriously lost. So it’s no wonder that as soon as we are old enough to pick our own outfit, mom gets benched. Even the »Gilmore Girls« have to admit to several rough patches in their SISTER-MAG.COM
mother-daughter-bestfriends relationship. But no matter how often we check in, how crooked our eyeliner, whatever exam we may have failed, mum doesn’t mind! When we come to visit we’re greeted by our favourite kind of biscuits and water in the kettle. For doing that and going above and beyond in a million other ways, mothers deserve a big fat THANK YOU every single day. But since most of us struggle to even call every single day, it’s very handy to have this one dedicated day a year on which to make up for it: Mother’s Day!
