Worst Mother's Day Present Ever
Primary school craft projects, aren't they great?
One year, I think it was grade 3, our craft project for Mother's Day was to cross stitch a tea-towel. Yes, a tea-towel. (I don't recall anyone batting an eyelid that we were giving our mothers tea-towels as gifts.) Anyway, this is what the finished tea-towel should have looked like (thanks to my brilliant Photoshop skills): For those of us who didn't think we had enough time or skill for that, there was this option:
This is what my mum got:
She finished it herself a few years later.

Taxi-Mum Monday: Meryl Streep
"You listen to me, you little idiot! I'm not bullshitting you about the Gauntlet. It's big. Bigger than anything you've ever seen. And tomorrow, you're gonna drown in it. And the rest of us are gonna be hauled under with the raft. I'm not gonna pretend that I give a shit about you and your stupid friend.. and your pathetic small-time nothing life! But I got everything I care about in the world in this boat. And I got my baby girl waiting at the other end. And I know I cannot do this! I cannot row this big water, man! That's the truth. I cannot do it!"
