People shouldn't have to wait for a special day once a year to be nice and show respect to those we love. While setting aside a special day to honor our mothers, fathers, spouses, sweethearts, is nice and all that, we should be equally good to them all year-round. I read this news item in the link below and it just made me think about how many people think they can make up for a year of taking people for granted with a card, or flowers, or some other thing on one designated Hallmark holiday.

And they don't treat me like this inconsiderate brat in the story below:

(And hopefully she has learned to just sit in the stands and let him fight his own battles...he's big enough!)
To the reporters he had this to say:
