Happy Mother's Day...It's twigi too!

It turns out that Mother's Day started 100 years ago. Anna Jarvis, who started Mother's Day in 1908, apparently would be appalled by what Mother's Day has become. Actually, she wished she hadn't started it after it had been going for 40 years. But then that's the way, isn't it? Any good idea quickly becomes commercialized. That's why Arbor Day is almost unheard of, while the more recent creation, Earth Day, gets a nice amount of attention. If you can sell a card for it, you have a winner. Anyway, here's an article on the 100th anniversary from the local publication. Mother's Day Celebration Reaches 100th Anniversary.

And, of course, we all know mother's deserve to earn money for their hard work. According to a recent survey, it was determined that mother's should earn $138,000. So, I propose legislation for motherhood to become a goverment paid job with pay being greater or less than the $138,000 figure based on individual mother efforts and success rates.

A bit of trivial irony before signing off...Anna Jarvis never married and never had children.

Keep the twigi on low today in honor of all of our mothers.
