As Momma owl said to her owlet, It’s Whom. Whom!
Happy Mother’s Day everybody! Ah Mom, always there to embarrass you in front of your friends. Always there to soothe when you scrape your knee. Always there no matter what your needs may be. I hope all you moms are smiling here or somewhere amidst happy flowers and kids of all ages.
