Angela: It was a Mother's Day when all my
relatives got together at my cousin Tim's new house. Everyone who wasn't
a mother cooked the Mother's Day dinner. I can't remember exactly what
the food was. As I recall, there was a lot of meat. It wasn't a very good
meal. But it was very touching.
Susan: When Claire (her daughter)
was two years old, Mother's Day dinner was street food. We all went to
the Dixon May Fair and the Mexican Rodeo. It was not a typical Mother's
Day but it was fun.
Liz: I've never been so mad. I was fifteen
and I made the whole Mother's Day dinner and my brothers didn't do diddly.
It took me all weekend to make it- roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, green
beans with almonds, lemon meringue pie. After dinner was over, my brothers
left. My dad left. So on top of all the work I already did, I was stuck
with the dishes. That was a memorable Mother's Day.
