A little Mother's Day advice

Whoever said "father knows best" must not have had a mother.

So herewith, a little advice from some moms on Mother's Day.

First up, some Mother's Day advice from some Jewish mothers (and grandmothers):

(I loved the definition of "a genius" -- an average student with a Jewish mother. Though I know plenty of Catholic mothers who would define it the same way. ;-)

Next, what moms really want for Mother's Day, via Jimmy Kimmel Live:



For the record, I made myself (and the spouse) pancakes this morning, even though the teenager offered to make them. And they were delicious.

One last thought -- or piece of advice -- from this mother: Mother's Day should not be about celebrating the person who gave birth to you but about celebrating those who mothered you and cared for you when you needed it.

"Your mom is calling" relaxation ringtone

OMG, where has this ringtone been all my life  -- or even an hour ago when my mother called me on my cell phone in a panic (after calling the home phone and not getting an answer) to ask which kind of Bass Ale she should get for a party she is having tomorrow?!

Unfortunately, I was unable to embed the Your Mom Is Calling Relaxation Ringtone here (click on the link above to check it out), but here is what the soothing voice says:

"Your mom is calling...
but she can wait.
First, let's relax our shoulders and take a deep breath in...
and out.
In...
and out.
Now, you may answer your phone."

I could listen to that ringtone all morning.

The mother of all Facebook apps?

I realize this blog post may come back to haunt me when my daughter eventually gets a Facebook account, but this video, from this past Saturday's Saturday Night Live, was just too good -- and funny -- not to share.

And even though this Facebook application (or filter) may only exist in a Saturday Night Live sketch right now, it's only a matter of time until someone actually creates a "Damn It, My Mom Is on Facebook" filter (if someone hasn't already).
