Happy Mother’s Day! Ferrell and I want to wish all you Moms out there the best day ever. This is a special day. Mother's Day is our chance to honor the women who bind families together and raise children from babies to adulthood. Raising good kids is one of the most challenging, and also the most meaningful, things I've ever done. If you have not gotten your Mother a Gift for Mother’s Day, here are some things I found in Reader’s Digest not to buy her. Have a Great Mother’s Day.
Don’t buy anything that plugs in. Anything that requires electricity is seen as utilitarian.
Don’t buy clothing that involves sizes. The chances are one in seven thousand that you will get her size right, and your wife will be offended the other 6999 times. .
Avoid all things useful. The new silver polish advertised to save hundreds of hours is not going to win you any brownie points.
Don’t buy anything that involves weight loss or self-improvement. She’ll perceive a six-month membership to a diet center as a suggestion that’s she’s overweight.
Don’t buy jewelry. The jewelry your wife wants, you can’t afford. And the jewelry you can afford, she doesn’t want.
Finally, don’t spend too much. “How do you think we’re going to afford that?” she’ll ask. But don’t spend too little. She won’t say anything, but she’ll think, “Is that all I’m worth?”
