It is not as if mum was ever overexcited about the day. I really do not think she cared much for Mother’s Day. If I phoned her to wish her a happy Mother’s Day the normal reply would be “Don’t be stupid”, she was a funny woman like that.
Growing up it was a box of Cadburys Milk Tray the present of choice for mum. That was mainly due to the TV ad shown at the time. It would feature some James Bond type riding a speedboat, climbing some mountain to deliver a box of Milk Tray. At the end he would open, his briefcase to the catchphrase “All because the Lady loves Milk Tray”.
I wish mum were still with us. I could do with a ‘Don’t be stupid’ right now. The funny thing is, if she were sitting up there, watching over us, she would probably be muttering ……. don’t be stupid.
