All of us girls met over at Moms for Mothers Day and cooked her a nice lunch. Then it was time to pull out the Mothers Day presents. I made sure mine was the last one that Mom would open too. One of my sisters got Mom a beautiful summer outfit and Mom loved it. It had Capri’s and the cutest top with it. Then my other sister got Mom a beautiful card with a gift card in it to a nail salon to have a manicure and a pedicure too. Mom thought that was wonderful. Now she would look great in her new outfit with her nails and toes painted up all pretty.
Then came time for my gift. I had it in a nice box wrapped up really pretty with a beautiful bow on it. She gently pulled the bow off and carefully took the wrapping paper off just like she had done with the other presents. She likes to save the wrapping paper and bows if she can. When she opened the box, inside of it was a DVD of Casablanca, she was thrilled since that’s her favorite all time movie. I told her to look under the DVD. That’s when she found the bag of microwave popcorn.
As she picked it up with a smile, she saw the ‘grow a boyfriend’ figure under the popcorn. “What in the world is this?” she asked. I then told her that after she got all gussied up with my sisters gifts, she could put her new boyfriend in water and let him grow and then she would have a date for a movie and popcorn. Then I handed her a 2 liter of Coke and told her that date would be complete. Mom started laughing and everyone else was falling out of their chairs. It was great!! Mom loved all of her gifts.
