Day is to give your mother the day off. Let her have a good rest while other
members of the family do the housework.
Many families begin Mother’s Day with
breakfast in bed. Usually dad and the children will let mom sleep late as they
go into the kitchen and get ready for her favorite meal. A Mother’s Day
breakfast can be made of anything your mom likes.
After the food is cooked, keep everything
nicely on the plate. Don’t forget to put the bottle with only one flower. With
spring here, the children can pick up the nicest flower from the garden
outside. When everything is ready, carefully carry the plate and mom’s favorite
books or newspapers up to her bedroom. Cards and small presents from the
children can be put on the plate before it is given to mom in bed.
Many families take mom out to her favorite
restaurant for a meal. It is a good day to let your mom rest and let her see
