Did you ditch your mother so that you can watch the Pens vs. Philly game tonight?

For over a decade I have lived several thousand miles away from my parents, so I was lucky enough to get away with sending flowers.



Did you guys hang out with your mother this weekend? (Sorry if your mother has passed) What did you get her? Did you cook? She cook? Or did you take her out to dine?



To make this hockey related?



With two teams being in Pennsylvania, do think the Amish ever play hockey?

I lied again to my Mother. I told her that the Leafs were on their way to winning their 4th Cup in a row.



I figured she and my Father can't haunt me any more than they do now.

Parents were on TWA 800. -- I was 13. Life happens, as does death.

Reply:Thanks. Yes, Dr. Noah has a eerie sound to it. Some should be worried. Report It
Reply:Nope, I'm 100+ miles away from Mom, so I got away with a phone call and a promise of presents when she comes out next week. I did hide out in the basement lounge watching the game and ditching a floor meeting, though.



I'm going into town this week and building her a little "Mama's Comforts" basket out of whatever looks like something she'd enjoy.



I think the Amish would rock at hockey, if they're allowed to use ice skates. After all, they can keep their balance way up high building roofs all the time, so skating should be a breeze!
Reply:I am of the philosophy that I dont need to recognize my mom as special one time a year like HALLMARK has told me I should. I treat her like that every time I see her. I see my mom on a regular basis, about once a week. Sure I call her and send her a card or something, but like I said, if you treat your mom good all year long then one day of the year doesnt mean as much to her. Why or who appointed TODAY as the day to treat my mom special? Why cant I do that any day of the year and as many times as I want?
Reply:My mother passed away a few years ago (although my dad is still going strong in Montreal).



I have seen a hockey game played many years ago in a Boston high school hockey tournament, and one of the teams was from Pennsylvania's 'Quaker' area. They weren't a very memorable team though, most people were there to see Brian Lawton at the time.
Reply:We agreed to celebrate Mama Freckles day next weekend as my sister had her graduation yesterday, I worked this afternoon, and my night was devoted to a screaming match with the SO.



I love my mother, therefor, I didn't cook her anything. She has been complaining that she wanted a pic of my sister and I for her desk at work, so we did that.



And yes, they play with brooms and cow paddies.
Reply:I didn't watch last night's game with my Mom, and I feel really bad about it. I might watch tonight's game with her, if she gets home soon.



My Mom didn't want anything, so my dad and I took her to a restaurant last weekend as somewhat of a gift.





I'm sure Amish play, they have the beards to play.
Reply:I ditched my mom to work! But im sure she's watching the game with my dad!



I spent the afternoon with her today before I had to go to work. We just chatted and cleaned up the kitchen and played with my niece.



I got her two bird houses that she wanted and I made her a card, SHE loves home made cards so I figured hey im only 23 I can still make my mommy a card!



I bet they do play hockey? But who knows?
Reply:I actually didn't do much. My mother, my younger sister and I went running around of all south eastern PA though. It was raining too.



I'll be kicking my mother out of the living room here shortly so I can watch the game. I believe my sister is playing Guitar Hero 3 and my mother is reading, but mothers day or not....I'm getting the living room and watching some good old hockey.
Reply:uhm i don't think i ditched my mother per say...hmm cause she wouldn't want to see the game anyways, it's not the leafs, but i think she ditched me so i can watch the worlds and hnic today in peace.



the amish probably don't play hockey, but if they did they would have the best playoff beards.
Reply:I made my mother a homemade walnut bread for breakfast, gave her two cards and a drawing of mine, and then I made a sachertorte for dessert (chocolate fluffy cake like thing)....



BUT i will not ditch my mom tonight for she will be watching the game with me!!!



Lets go penguins!!!



The amish play stick ball I thought!?!?!?!?!? idk
Reply:Go Flyers. The only pittsburgh team I like is the Steelers but now that this is hockey I am pumped up. My mom and I are watching the game and I got my rally towel outgo Flyers They should have pink sticks or pink puck 4 mothers day like they do w baseball with the bats. lol
Reply:I took my mother out for supper. I stayed with her all day and we're going to watch the game together, she doesn't mind watching some hockey! Amish don't play but they should play it, hockey is the best sport in the world.
Reply:I'm one of those whose mothers have passed, a normal part of life, unfortunately, but the daughter and grandkids came here to have dinner with us.



Hockey season ended when the Rangers were ousted.
Reply:I took her out....And threw her in the Delaware..Ok maybe not but just got done to make it back in time.I took her out to din din and because its her day I Super-sized it.



Amish don't play but they should..They have the playoff beards sportin all year.
Reply:I did not see my mom today because I am away at college and without a car. I called her this morning, and I'm currently working on a picture of my little brother that I plan on giving her when I am done with school.
