T-Rex: Mother's Day! It's a day when we can celebrate our moms! Pretty good day in MY humble opinion!!
T-Rex: And Anna Jarvis thought so too!
T-Rex: She invented the day. She loved her mom so much that after said mother passed away in 1908, she began lobbying for a national holiday for mothers, as a tribute to her own! And in 1914 she got it, when the President named the second Sunday in May to be Mother's Day.
Dromiceiomimus: Success!
T-Rex: ONLY BRIEFLY.
T-Rex: She hated how commercial it immediately became: the flowers, the cards, the chocolates...
Utahraptor: Oops!
T-Rex: She said that those who commercialized it were charlatans, bandits, pirates, racketeers, and termites. Then she was removed from an American War Mothers meeting for raging against their Mother's Day fundraising carnations. Then she tried to have the whole holiday cancelled.
T-Rex: Then she went broke and was committed to a sanitarium, where she died, never knowing the bill for her stay was covered by a grateful Florists Exchange.
Off panel: Wow. Happy Mother's Day!
T-Rex: WOW, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
