If you thought Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg couldn’t top this, you were wrong. Check out their ‘ode‘ to Mother’s Day. I watched it Saturday and hit rewind four times, snorting Diet Coke through my nose each time. I only stopped because my stomach hurt so bad. Today? Five times and counting. It’s so, so wicked.
If you’re feeling less subversive, check out Jimmy Kimmel’s take on honoring Mom. It’s weirdly sweet and mildly genre-bending. A keeper.
My Mother’s Day? Well, my son’s birthday is always the day before, so until they’re older, Mother’s Day doesn’t really exist. Thankfully, their school did an incredibly sweet assembly where we were all given roses and escorted by our munchkins to the gym. Then, the kids did the most snot-inducing songs ever. One of them was to the tune of “My Baloney Has a First Name,” but still. It killed. When my son’s 2nd grade class (he turned 8 on Saturday) did this song, you could barely hear them braying off key while everyone wept and blew their noses. Not me of course. Didn’t affect me at all. Sniff. At least not until he stopped singing to just stare at me like I was the most wonderful creature on the planet. Then, he ran to me before the song was even over, took my face in his hands and said: “Now do you know how much I love you?”
Stupid Mother’s Day.
