"So, Mom, what would be the perfect Mother's Day gift for you?" Alex asked, yesterday, as we ate our lunch.
Before I could answer, Chris suggested, "Let's build her a huge Bionicle."
"No, Chris," said Alex, "That's not a Mother's Day gift."
"Oh," Chris paused, then said, "How about a fleet of Bionicles?"
"Chris, I mean what can we buy Mom. Something new that she wants."
"A new Bionicle!" said Chris.
With a sigh of defeat, Alex plopped his forehead on the table. I reached out to tousle his hair and told him that I already had my Mother's Day gift.
(Though Chris still can't imagine how anything could be better than a new Bionicle.)

I got my Mom the perfect Mother's Day gift: The movie The Thomas Crown Affair with Pierce Bronson and Rene Russo. It's something she's been really wanting, and she's been constantly asking for it. She's been looking all over for it, but I was able to find one last copy at the local Blockbuster store in Collinsville, Illinois
In my house, it would be pokemon cards. I made a cheesecake for my recent birthday. Why? Because it is my almost 9-year old son's favorite dessert and, as he put it: "you'll enjoy it so much more knowing I love it, Mommy."
