Cook For Mom
On Her Day

EILEEN GOLTZ SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS

M

other's Day is a whole
lot more fun than your
birthday because no-
body asks you how old
you are so you don't have to lie
about it. It's better than
Chanukah because you don't
have to frantically clean your
house for that ton of company
that you really don't want to see
and then then have to go out in a
30-degree-below-zero blizzard to
buy that present for Aunt Freida
who said she wasn't coming and

even have to feel guilty about pro-
claiming the day for mothers be-
