Summary
“*We always had a democracy in this house. We never did anything unless we both agreed. But now I guess I'm going to have to play the mom card.” -*Lorelai Gilmore, S1E1: Pilot.
The Mothers Day celebration continues! This week, we’re talking about times when Lorelai used the “mom card” on Rory. What exactly is the “mom card” and when does Lorelai tend to use it?
