Happy Mothers’ Day

Today is Mothers’ Day in Shalampax. As in many countries around the world, Shalampaxians reflect today on everything that their mothers have done for them.
Shalampaxians are often perceived as heartless. That may be a valid accusation throughout most of the year, but it’s definitely not true on Mothers’ Day.
In some countries, people often get by with a superficial offering on this day. They might give their mothers a greeting card or some flowers and leave it at that. In those countries, moms consider themselves lucky if they get breakfast in bed. And, when adult children move to another city, a phone call may be the most a mother can hope for—if that.
