Mothers Day gift idea

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I pass Walgreens on my commute to and from work. They have one of those electronic signs that displays all the different specials and promotions they have going.

It's on the blink. How do I know this? The bottom third of the sign is stuck on "Water 24 pack." They either have 24-packs of bottled water on sale now or did in the recent past. The top two-thirds of the sign rotate between other specials, but the bottom is stuck on "Water 24 pack" all the time.

This resulted in a bunch of things that made no sense being displayed on the sign, until it flashed the following as I passed:

Remember Mom
With A
Water 24 pack

Hey Ma! Happy Mothers Day, here's a case of bottled water just for you, the woman who brought me into this world and raised me! Enjoy!

[Draper Mel]

Hey, staying hydrated is very important! You'd be giving her the gift of health.

I think I'll reserve that for Father's Day, when it's so hot in our area, that a 24 pack of chilled bottled water would seem like heaven!

I keep hearing this add on a local radio statio I listen to about a place that specializes in making chicken fingers and how treating your mom to that would make you the favorite child. Really, I've been to the particular place and the food was bland and just not worth it. Seriously, I'd have a hard time doing something as tacky as taking my mom out to eat there.

"Mom! I'm given to understand that when I was born, your water broke."
(Flourish flat of bottles.)
"Here's some new ones!"

[Probably only works up to a certain age. ]

My mom would send me right back into the store for a 24 pack of Dr. Pepper.

To her, water is for bathing and cooking with . . . NOT drinking.

I find personalized gifts to be the best. My siblings and I (I was the the photographer) did a photoshoot out at one of the local attractions, and all of us pitched in some money to have it made into a canvas. She was thrilled! Better than having dinner and whatnot. I think next year the entire family will do one. For Father's Day? My dad likes nothing more than ordering a pizza and sitting downstairs to watch any of his favourite shows.

But seriously? Water? Here mom! Have some hydration! That's almost as tacky as, "Wish mom a happy day with a [expensive brand name beer]!"

I found my mom a gift I was kinda proud of this year--a Bake A Bone appliance to make doggie treats at home from scratch. Now here's hoping the dogs like it!

I saw that advertised on the news the other evening.

I'd get one but I do good these days to train my Mom to clean up the kitchen before I get home from work, let alone make the dog treats for Abby.

When I was much younger, I so would have done that...
