Lesbian laments: I want to be the only mommy on Mother's Day
« on: May 07, 2010, 04:15:03 PM »
May possibly be the craziest thing I have seen in literally hours.

http://www.slate.com/id/2253186/

excerpt

A few years ago, my daughter and I were browsing through the card kiosk, trying to select a Mother's Day card. "Mom you're the best!" read one. "#1 mom" raved another. "Queen mother!" pronounced yet another. I got to choose because she couldn't yet read, and I chose none of the above. Let's go home and make homemade cards, OK?

On cream-colored card stock, those bards at Hallmark have put their finger on the problem I have with Mother's Day: For me, it can't be about bests and greatests and onlys and queen bees. It can't be all about the superlative me. My child has two moms. And while Mother's Day may strike some as an occasion for our family to double our pleasure/double our fun, the second Sunday in May has become the thorn in my bouquet of roses. I don't particularly feel like sharing the holiday.

Here is the thing.

You and everyone else on Earth have one mother.

What you have done, along with your preferred sex partner, is build a whole imaginary world around yourselves.

But maybe it's really my daughter who should be griping (should she inherit the gripe gene) about the second Sunday in May.

You THINK?!?!?!?!?  :thatsright: :thatsright:

I'm guessing this will make the beginning of the bannination of Mother's/Father's day since obviously they are exclusive holidays...

Like the Bannination of Christmas, and Cinco De Mayo since they only appeal to specific grou...

Oh yeah, talk about somebody who can't have any actual problems if she is grousing about this.  Since everything else in her life must be perfect, she should be volunteering all her free time to help out those less fortunate who may have real problems.

Bobolink: Small, lark-like blackbird, all-black except for buff nape, white rump, and white wing patches. Tertials and wing coverts are lined with buff. Tail feathers are sharply pointed. Legs and feet are gray. Eats caterpillars, insects, seeds and grains. Strong undulating flight.



The Bobolink is the only American bird that is black underneath and white on the back. This coloring makes the male stand out while he is performing his displays. After breeding he changes into a drab, camouflaged plumage to spend the rest of the year.

They are one of the few songbirds that undergo two complete molts each year, completely changing its feathers on both the breeding and wintering grounds.

Each fall, they gather in large numbers in southern rice fields, where their habit of eating grain has earned them the name "ricebird." They are collected as food in Jamaica, where they are called “butter birds”--a commentary on how fat they are as they pass through on migration.

A group of bobolinks are collectively known as a "chain" of bobolinks
