The morning after

Been working on my English essay all morning so I haven't had the proper time window in which to post.

Today, much like Mother's Day, is a special day. It's the day after Mother's Day. A transitional day really.

After mother's day,
The mother's role goes back to
The opposite one.

It's probably the biggest change from one day to another- even more so than Opposite Day. One day the kids are making mom breakfast, the next day she's doing it for them and cleaning up from the previous day's mess. They give her flowers, she has to take care of them. They do the shopping for her, she has to go and buy non high-fructose corn syrup based foods. And you get the point. While the intentions of Mother's Day are pure (except for Hallmark and all of the stores), the drawbacks of it can make it not necessarily worth the hassle. Or maybe they are. Who knows, I certainly won't since I will never (probably) be a mother.
