Took a card and stuff round last night. First thing my mum said after looking at the card was "at least you found one with 'Mothering Sunday' on it!"
Despite the obvious dig about the lateness of my visit, unavoidable it's when I got back from a journey, I'm kind of glad she's like me. Mother's day is an Americanism, it's Mothering Sunday over here! Although she was once American too she doesn't like the American term for yesterday.
It's scary how we pick up things our parents do or think without realising it. I never knew before she deliberately sought out Mothering Sunday cards for her mum too! One year I had to go round a lot of places to find just one!
