I'm Christine Cyr-Clicette.

I'm Kyra Blackwell.

I'm Rosie Garan, and you're listening to The Wirecutter Show.

This episode is called A Memorable Mother's Day.

Hey guys, special day coming up.

Oh, your birthday?

No, not yet.

Soon.

I'll give you plenty of you.

Are we doing an episode about your birthday, Rosie?

We will, we will when the time comes.

No, it's Mother's Day.

Of course.

Mother's Day is Sunday, May 11th. Well, I'm a mother and Rosie, you're a mother. I sure am.

I'm, Tyra. You are the child of a mother. I am. And I'm giving mother all the time. You are mother. No, I have a lovely mom. Her birthday is actually May 12th, so. Oh, nice. She likes to do the thing where we celebrate Mother's Day and her birthday

separately every year. Well, that is a little bit like having your birthday right before Christmas

or after Christmas. Exactly. Yeah. I don't do big Mother's Day things. My biggest ask is that

my kids let me sleep in. I think that's probably very common. I don't know. There's something about

Mother's Day being in the spring. The weather's warming up. It's always been for me a nice time to sort of take a pause and take stock and write my mom a nice card and maybe give her some flowers and just be together and have a moment.

That's very sweet. You know, I think when I was a fresh mother, like a, like a fresh young mother, I used to have higher expectations for Mother's Day. Like, I wanted to have the Mother's Day brunch and I wanted it to be sort of like really special. And I feel like I, after trying to go to Mother's Day brunch a few times in a row when my kids were really little, I realized what a horrible experience that is.

Yeah, I'm not trying to go to Mother's Day brunch. I just, I too would love to sleep in,

but there are two moms in our house, and so we cancel each other out and we both have to get up.
