Facebook cracks me up on holidays (not literally, but I do always have lotion with me, just in case), especially birthdays. I mean, sure, it's nice to be told, "Happy Birthday!!!" However, when standing back and thinking about it, it's also kind of strange to be told such things from people I haven't talked to over the phone, let alone seen in the past 10-15 years. It would be incredibly strange to receive phone calls or cards in the mail from these very people wishing me a happy birthday, would it not? In any case, with today being Mother's Day and all, I'm having to chuckle at some of the statuses on the before-mentioned social networking site.
I can't tell you how many times I've read the following statuses this morning:
"Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there!"
"Happy Mother's Day to my mom - the best mom in the world!"
With the first status, my immediate thought is, "Who else would we wish a Happy Mother's Day to? Fathers? Sons? Brothers? Blow-up dolls named Woody?"
I find the second status a bit perplexing as well, because the adjective "best" alongside the noun "mom" signifies that there is only one best mom in the world. However, this has been declared by seemingly countless different people, so how can there be one "best" mom, when there appears to be several? It's not like in the Olympics, Gold medals are handed out to everybody after a race, and an announcer then says, "You're all the best! Congratulations!"
So, I think there's only one way we can settle this dispute - a "reality" series competition. I shall start writing it shortly, and will call the show, Bada*s Mothas. ...To be continued...
