THAT MEANS BLACK HISTORY MONTH.
VALENTINE'S DAY!
AND FOR ME, IT'S THAT SPECIAL TIME OF YEAR WHEN I FRANTICALLY LOOK FOR MY MOM'S BIRTHDAY GIFT.
YES, NEXT WEEK IS MY MOM'S BIRTHDAY, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 32 YEARS, I REMEMBERED AHEAD OF TIME!
SOME WOULD THANK MY THOUGHTFUL MATURITY.
OTHERS WOULD THANK GOOGLE CALENDAR.
REGARDLESS, I NEED TO FIND MY MOM A GIFT.
WHETHER IT'S BATHROBES OR GRANDKIDS, I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE MOMS LIKE SILLY STUFF.
AND THAT MAKES SHOPPING FOR THEM REALLY HARD.
AND NOW I'M FACED WITH AN IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION.
WHAT DO YOU GIVE AN AQUARIUS WHO GAVE YOU LIFE?
IN THE PAST, I'VE GIVEN MY MOM ALL OF THE HALLMARK MOM GIFTS: GLOVES, CANDLES, SCARVES, PERFUME, FLOWERS.
AND THEY'VE ALL BEEN JUST FINE.
BUT THIS YEAR I NEED TO GO BIGGER, MORE MEMORABLE.
PARTIALLY BECAUSE I ADORE MY MOTHER, BUT MAINLY BECAUSE IT'LL REALLY ANNOY MY SISTER.
LIKE ALL SIBLINGS, I'M CURRENTLY IN A COLD WAR WITH MY SISTER OVER MY MOTHER'S LOVE.
AND I REGRET TO SAY THAT IN THIS ANALOGY, I'M RUSSIA.
EVERY YEAR, MY SISTER BUYS MY MOTHER A FANTASTIC GIFT THAT MAKES ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL.
BUT NOW I HAVE THE EDGE BECAUSE I'VE FINALLY REMEMBERED.
SO THIS IS A PROCLAMATION TO THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN MY LIFE.
NEXT WEEK I WILL DESTROY YOU.
AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM.
