Does your mom like music? And did you just this very second remember it’s Mother’s Day and uh-oh, you forgot so much as a card?
Then National Public Radio has your back, peeps. They’ve complied a music playlist of mom-related songs , whch range from Dvorak to John Lennon’s “Mother” (probably the most depressing mother-related song I can imagine) and Smoky Robinson and the Miracles “Shop Around” (“my Mama told me…”).
Send your mom a link to this stream with an e-card, and you’re covered – sort of. Just hope your own kids show a little more thought when it’s your turn. Because even NPR has tongue-in-cheek titled the list “Mother’s Mix”— It’s the Least We Could Do.”
If you have a little more time for some forethought (and a better relationship with your mom) try making a mix CD for her. I’ve done that for my mom and she loves it, and we don’t even have similar tastes in music.
