Please, Call Me Mom
Bakers, with Mothers' Day coming up this weekend I thought it'd be a good idea to start practicing her name now - you know, just to avoid any repeats of last year's debacles.
Now remember, the traditional favorites are "mom," "mommy," and the more formal but still perfectly acceptable "mother." Of these, I realize that "mommy" is by far the most difficult for you to spell - but don't worry. I have a fool-proof system guaranteed to help:
Besides, the last thing you want to do when complimenting Mom is evoke bovine imagery. Trust me.
(Update: No, it's not the person's name - they really asked for "mommy." Really. Yes, really really.)
Step 5: On second thought, maybe just avoid "mommy" all together. Stick with "mom" or "mother" instead.
