Get it the virtue. She wants to cancel Mother's Day. Another Mother's Day came and went on Sunday.

0:07.6

She was disappointed yet again. So why do the same thing over and over and over again? So she's

0:14.7

suggesting to the family. That's it. That's it. That's it. No more Mother's Day. This is one of

0:19.0

castes friends. Yeah. My friend Carrie is dealing with this right now and I don't know what to tell her

0:24.9

because logically I can totally see what she's saying and it makes sense but it makes me sad for her.

0:30.0

So she has two older boys. They're like 10 and 11 and every single Mother's Day that rolls around.

0:35.3

But she used to get stuff from their classrooms when they were little and little presents like that.

from the grocery store. It's that they're still in the wrapper with like the big orange sticker on it.

1:29.2
