OK - that headline got my attention. That there are 12 mothers ruling the world.
That seems a dream. I compare that to the place where we are: Trump, Putin, Elon Musk and Xi Jinping rampaging through the social, economic, and political realms of the entire planet. Trump is often considered the most dangerous in political commentaries. And that's in comparison to Putin and Kim Jong-un. Xi Jinping came in last in a German poll. I wonder who they would say is the most dangerous now?
So back to the feel-good article on the 12 mothers who are "ruling the world". Would you consider Michelle Obama up for the challenge of taking on our super-foes? Can Beyoncé solve the war in Ukraine? Would you consider f"amous mom Madonna - an icon and also a loving mother," ready to take on Putin right now?
So I got to realizing that these are articles are about famous women who are mothers. It doesn't look like anyone is famous for being a mother? And ask the same question about men - there aren't articles about men famous for being fathers.
So we likely should focus on simple family pleasures for the celebration day. What to do? Cook a meal for your mom, plan a picnic in the park and make your mom a gift. And here are two jokes that fit nicely into Mother's Day.
Daughter: Mum, what’s it like to have the greatest daughter in the world?
Mum: I don’t know dear, you’d have to ask Grandma.
A kid asks his dad, “What’s a man?” The dad says, “A man is someone who is responsible and cares for their family.” The kid says, “I hope one day I can be a man just like mom!” |
