Saturday 9... Mom

I am not posting as much as usual and its been a while since I have posted regularly. Things have piled up around me so it has not been easy. I am joining with Saturday 9 this week..
Saturday 9: Mom (2016)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.



Thank you Sam for these questions!


1) Meghan Trainor's mom gets a vocal credit on this song ("featuring Kelli Trainor") because the audio of a mother/daughter phone call is included on the recording. Who is the last person you spoke to (not texted!) on the phone?
Lee
2) The earliest version of this song was a poem co-written by Meghan and her brother as a gift to their mom. Do you enjoy writing/crafting/baking or [insert your skill here] gifts for people? I have witten songs for people on piano.

3) Meghan's mom ran Jewel of the Isle, a jewelry store in Nantucket, MA. Have you ever visited Massachusetts? If so, where have you gone?  I have been to Massachusetts. I've been all over.

4) Mother's Day is a big holiday for card shops. So are birthdays, weddings, and dozens of other special occasions. Hallmark sells greetings for everything from "Congratulations on Your New Job" to "Happy Retirement." Who received the most recent card you bought?
Many people when I sent out Cards for holidays.

5) While Crazy Sam was growing up, her mother used to scold her for leaving dirty dishes in the sink. Sam admits it: as an adult she still puts off washing her dishes. Are you more like mother or daughter? Do you clean up after every meal, or do you let the dishes stack up?   I usually clean up right away, but if my spine is hurting badly.. I let it go.

6) Mother's Day is for grandmothers, too. Sam grew up calling her grandmother "Grandgran." What did you call your grandmother?  I called them both Nanny

7) The German word for "mother" is "mutter." What other German words do you know? Hello, goodbye, stuff like that.

8) In the United Kingdom, Mothering Sunday is celebrated. It's on the fourth Sunday in Lent (March 14 this year) and in addition to flowers and cards, mothers are treated to Simnel cake. Are you going to indulge in any sweets this weekend?  maybe I will make myself pancakes for breakfast on mother's day.

9) To celebrate Mother's Day, Sam is giving away her mother's favorite: Hershey Bars! Would you prefer classic milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or milk chocolate with almonds?
I will pass on the chocolate, but thanks anyway. I do like almonds though.
