Scott Wegener on the days of the year.
Signs of the Times, May 2014
How lovely is Mothers day. It’s a wonderful time where red textas are drained onto home-made cards and huge quantities of soap bars are sold – some smelling so strong that one curious sniff from poor Fido will instantly paralyse his back legs in the fully extended position.
We have mothers and fathers days, perhaps only less celebrated than Christmas day and our birthdays. But there are all sorts of less celebrated days during the year. There’s grandparents day’s, children’s day, Aunty and uncles day, Cousin day, pets day and, wait for it, ex-spouse day and mother-in-law day (Augh-ha! Now I see where the demand for strong soap come from!)
