Warning to anyone who doesn't know me: I have a thing about "mother's day" as it is currently celebrated.
I resent giving women lots of attention one day a year and getting 364 days of virtual servitude in return.
Historically, this was never a day to celebrate your own mother with gifts and flowers.
It was established by Julia Ward Howe as Mothers' Peace Day, a day to stop killing all our sons and daughters, at the end of the Civil War.
That's the only way I can deal with it.
I hate getting greetings from every Tom, Dick and Suzy to have a nice mother's day.
If you want to honor me, make a donation to an organization working for peace.
