Thanks for that, Ed almost shamed me into calling, I'll still call since its been a while but at least I won't open with "Happy Mother's Day!"... to be followed by a confused silence.
So, I called my mom today and said: "Happy mothers day mom". And she was supprised she missed it for her mom.
Than I realized that mothers day is in two weeks in France.
I'll admit to panicking slightly before I read down this far.
