I asked Buster, “What should we get Mommy for Mother’s Day?”
“Probably something she likes,” was his reasoned reply.
“What do you think she would like?”
“I don’t know. Maybe you should ask her what she likes and then buy it for her.”
When it comes to thoughtful gift giving, Buster is a chip right off the old block.
I am old enough to have learned, without having to ask, one thing Mommy wants. That is to be told, once in a while, how much she is loved and appreciated. She isn’t told this as often as she deserves to be told. Mother’s Day is a great time to begin to make up the deficit.
This being the case, I present some words of love and appreciation for Mommy.
From BIG BROTHER

From BIG MAN
What is your Mother’s Day message for Mommy?
“Love Mommy.”
How much do you love Mommy?
“Big much.”
A little heart full of big love for Mommy.
Daddy also loves Mommy big much, one hundred, more than bacon, and also to the moon and back. As a group, we don’t tell her we love and appreciate her as much as we should, but we do love and appreciate her always, even when we are a mob of self-absorbed hooligans.
As important as it is to tell Mommy how we feel about her on Mother’s Day, I also recognize the wisdom of youth. I took Buster up on his suggestion and asked Mommy what she would like for a present. She’s getting that too.
Snoozing on the Sofa 
Your boys are so adorable! Big Much indeed! LOVE it!
Thank you. Mommy and I think so too.
Who doesn’t want to be loved more than bacon! Come on, they are freaking adorable!
I’d settle for being loved about as much as bacon. I mean, it is bacon, after all.
Did I hear bacon?
When you hear bacon, do you hear the same bacon as we in the US do? Or do you hear that little circle of ham known to us as Canadian bacon?
I hear bacon. What the hell is a little circle of ham? I didn’t even know what “Canadian bacon was for the longest time.
You’re so far behind.
If there is one person in the world who deserves all the respect & love in the world ,that’s Mother !
You nailed it.

[…] For Mommy […]
This almost make me cry. I say almost because I’m at work and needs to be professional. No-one here appreciates a sobbing male.
But this post is filled with love and that small heart and…..I’m leaving.
Save it for your 3 martini lunch. Nobody at the bar will think twice about a crying middle-aged man in business casual.
I don’t drink Martini’s. I drink anything else. And who are you calling middle-aged?
The old man crying right next to you.
No. That’s losing all my followers.
