Happy Mother's Day

I remember my mum was happiest when she heard funny jokes and when she received monthly household allowances from her children. It was like her pay day. She often said with a grin: “Whoa, so fast one month already huh.” When age caught up with her, she often forgot having received the cash and asked her children if they had already given. So we gave her a notebook and a signature rubber-stamp to record her monthly ‘revenue’ inputs. But everyone knew where she kept her notebook and rubber-stamp which were not locked up.

Have you given your mum her allowance this month?

Happy Mother’s Day.
