You may be starting to sweat the whole Mothers Day business. What's the best thing to get Mom this year? What would say "thanks for carrying me around in your womb for a heck of long time, during which you could neither drink nor smoke, and then looking after me and whatnot for another few decades, and generally remaining in my corner, even when I fished that $20 out of your purse to buy weed?" It depends on the mom, but a meal cooked by professionals, an expensive handbag, DVDs of Maude, a ride in a convertible with Magnum P.I., an opportunity to spend time with her friends all come to mind. Conventional wisdom holds that what does not come to mind is the gift that seems to say, in the voice of Eric Cartman, "GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!!" but sez Williams-Sonoma, an apron with her name on it is a "top gift for mom." Sadly, there is a nine-character limit, meaning that it would take six aprons to spell out the first line of Little Babies, as illustrated below:
