Talk:Mother's Day (United States)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Dead or alive?
"Tradition calls for the wearing of roses or carnations on Mother's Day — a red one if one's mother is alive, white if she has died, and pink if one is not certain." I have never heard of this before, especially the part about a pink flower. Source?
- You're right. I have NEVER EVER even heard that, let alone witnessed it. I'll search the internet for more information on that, but if I don't find anything I'm going to delete it. Cereal box conspiracy 00:51, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
--208.255.68.2 22:26, 11 May 2006 (UTC)This is an old tradition I remember from my childhood (I'm 60 now). I have never heard of the pink flower, but I would presume the not knowing if your mother is living or deceased would be a result of family separation or adoption...something along those lines.
What is this line about? Should it be deleted? I don't think it has anything to do with the article. Totally on the end of the article: "Some people who think that they are extremely educated, really and truly are not they are an embarrassment to society. They site inaccurate material and it's quit embarrassing"
[edit] Not a cake
As noted in the Wikimedia Commons discussion for the image, the photo is of a giant decorated cookie, not a cake. 65.96.156.231 19:47, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge
Why does the US need a separate article? most of this information is in the US section of the main article anyway. 130.246.132.26 13:33, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
