母亲节快乐!

On the way to Mass this morning, my driver asked me if we had Mother's Day in the Meiguo, too. I told him that I think the whole world celebrates Mother's Day today.

Then he asked me if today was the fifth Sunday of Easter. I had to think a moment (uh, just finished fourth week, so, yeah, this is the fifth Sunday) to tell him it was. Then he asked me if there were seven Sundays in Easter. I think someone has been doing internet research to figure out why it is so important for us to take an hour-long ride in Haidian District every Sunday before much of the world is awake.

Happy Mother's Day!

I don't know about the rest of the world, but in Spain, Mother's Day is the first Sunday in May. I know because my husband called his mom last Sunday. :)

Happy (belated) Mother's Day.

Here in the UK, we don't celebrate Mother's Day in May - we have Mothering Sunday on the fourth Sunday in Lent.

Well, my standard answer to the Mother's Day question is to keep from getting all homesick about it really being American Mother's Day. One holiday that makes me really homesick, though now I've spent more of them as someone's mother in China than not.
