Yeah, I guess you’re right; mothers are just being silly when they enjoy good wishes on Mother’s Day. But if they have to be accommodated, we have no choice, sigh…
And do you think a mother or wife would feel a bit more special if you gave them flowers during the week without piggybacking on Yom Tov or Shabbos?
I guess you have to be lucky to have a wife or mother who doesn’t appreciate a gift on her birthday or Mother’s Day; it may save you some cash, but trust me, you get it all back.
