Speaker A:

Hey, it's haystack.

Speaker A:

Just a reminder that Mother's Day is coming up on Sunday, and one mother is going viral because she says that, number one, Mother's Day is not all it's cracked up to be.

Speaker A:

And number two, dad will almost certainly get something wrong that day.

Speaker A:

So this woman is suggesting that mothers pick one small thing that will make them happy on Sunday and do it for themselves.

Speaker A:

So, again, Sunday.

Speaker A:

So you've only got a day and a half, really, to come up with something good for all the moms in your life.

Speaker A:

She says dads don't really stand a chance, though, because decisions have to be made, and dad or child will do something in the way that she would not do it, and that causes stress.

Speaker A:

She says for dads that you should try to make sure that your wife feels the love on Mother's Day and even throw in the disclaimer, I'm probably not going to get this, all right?

Speaker A:

But I do want you to know that I appreciate everything you do.

Speaker A:

So, to moms, she suggested that Mother's Day does not have to be the best day ever.

Speaker A:

Don't let it make or break you.

Speaker A:

That's absolutely true.

Speaker B:

No.

Speaker A:

Matter.

Speaker B:

What.

Speaker A:

Happens, try to see your mama.

Speaker B:

If you get the chance.

Speaker B:

Mother's Day.

Speaker B:

I'm on my way with bags of dirty launderite.

Speaker B:

Mama, I'm coming home.

Speaker B:

I would love to pay for brunch, but I don't really have the funds.

Speaker B:

Mama, I'm coming home.

Speaker B:

I moved out, pay my own bills, so I don't have much money.

Speaker B:

Yeah, but just for you, here's a balloon and a card from Dollar Tree.

Speaker B:

I love your mom.

Speaker B:

I hate to ask, but could I borrow a little cash?

Speaker B:

Mama, I'm coming home.

Speaker B:

You still take good care of me even though I just turned 43.

Speaker B:

Mama, I'm coming home.

Speaker A:

Happy Mother's Day to.

Speaker B:

All.

Speaker A:

You mothers.
