Mother's Day about sincerity, not grandiosity
Opinion Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My Dad gives his wife big presents on Mother's Day that far surpass anything us five kids could ever give her. Like, one year he gave her a little blue convertible sports car with a card on the windshield that read: 'Congratulations! Best Mom in the World!' Something else that's kind of creepy to my mind is our old dad still calls his own wife 'Mom,' not by her first name. That's kind of creepy in my mind! We have tried to tell him how stupid that sounds, but he just says in his big, booming voice. 'She's the mother of my five big brats, and that's you lucky guys, so shut up!' How are we kids supposed to compete with him and his mega gifts for 'Mom' every Mother's Day? — Oldest Son, Selkirk Dear Oldest Son: Don't compete, anymore, just relax and give Mom something personal and meaningful from you five 'kids' and a card with sincere words on it from all of you. Give her something she will keep to look at and smile. As for your dad calling his wife 'Mom,' he means 'the wonderful woman who is mother to my children,' boiled down to 'Mom.' There's nothing creepy about that. Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: It's Mother's Day, and I'm the only son of a great single mom. Sadly, I don't have much imagination for gifts. This year I finally have a good job, though, and some extra money, so I'm taking my mom out for lunch, and she's excited. What do you suggest for a fun activity afterwards? When I asked my mom what she'd like to do, she said, 'Just surprise me!' — Son in Need of Great Idea, St. Boniface Dear Son in Need: The plant nurseries are looking festive — like a beautiful spring party. So, go wild after lunch and take Mama to a couple of them. For instance, you'll find a half-dozen in a row, way out south on St. Mary's Rd. Tell her you're treating her to a pot of beautiful spring flowers, and she can choose. Don't be afraid to be a little mushy. Bring a card already dedicated to her with words of your appreciation and love. You can smoothly attach it to the plant purchase, as you carry it to the car. Give it to her as you're about to get in, saying, 'Thanks for being a great mom!' Then take a photo of you two and the precious plant, to share with others. Nothing like sharing a happy moment, and highlighting your mother. She'll love it. Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: Last year on Mother's Day, my divorced mom told me she was marrying again and she did — last August. I really liked the guy — still do — but Mom has already moved on. She is not the best mother-figure role model in the world. She has never really taught me and my sister how to find love and keep it. I'm not out to punish Mom on Mother's Day, but I haven't made a plan with her to do anything either. What could I do, last-minute? — Dragging My Feet, North Kildonan Dear Dragging: Buy your mom a little gift, along with a fun card that simply says 'Happy Mother's Day.' Tell her you're coming right over with your gift. That way you have honoured the occasion without putting on a big show that feels phoney. Was she a good mom in other ways, if you ignore her partnering choices? Think about those experiences on the way over, and have a nice chat when you visit that evokes good feelings.

The first video recorded the woman making a delivery on the porch of one home. After dropping off the package, the driver is then seen pulling up her shorts. According to the report, fecal matter was left on the stairs as well as an unknown wet substance. Another video submitted by the home owner revealed a dirty paper towel was left on the ground next to a planter. After watching coverage of the alleged pooping driver, another resident shared footage from their home security camera that showed the same female driver entering through their wooden gate shortly after 6 a.m. Sunday to deliver a package before she pulled down her shorts and urinated on the walkway. The woman turns her head to the camera and makes eye contact while doing her business, the report said. RECOMMENDED VIDEO Amazon said the driver will no longer be making deliveries for the company. 'We're deeply disturbed by the unacceptable behaviour of this delivery driver and apologize to the customers involved,' an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement to the station. 'We immediately identified the driver and they are no longer delivering on behalf of Amazon.' Read More

Create Account Berry, who is in Cannes, France, where she is serving on the jury for the 2025 edition of the prestigious film festival, posted a video of herself in bed with her longtime partner over the weekend to her Instagram. 'I showed y'all how my day started. How my Mother's Day started. And now, I'm not going to show you, but I'm going to tell you how my Mother's Day is gonna end,' she said while lying in bed alongside Hunt. 'First of all, we got our Let's Spin (lubricant) because Let's Spin just came out with this little travel size. And since we're in Cannes, France, I travelled with it for the first time. We're about to give it a spin,' she said. 'We're about to Cannes with Van,' Hunt chimed in. 'I've never been so happy to have Mother's Day come to an end.'

Berry and Hunt have been together since 2020 and in an interview with Marie Claire last September, the mother-of-two explained how her relationship was different from past ones. 'It was the first time I was madly in love before I had sex,' she said. 'That has never happened to me, ever.' Halle Berry and her boyfriend Van Hunt. Photo by Halle Berry / Instagram But Kelly accused Berry of getting 'more and more inappropriate in her public behaviour' after another entertainer said 'she was bad in bed.' 'More and more weird sex kitten photos, nude photos, sex posts … I think Halle Berry has truly been on a downward spiral since that moment,' Kelly said during a segment of her Megyn Kelly Show this week. 'For the listening audience, they're in bed, naked … in Cannes, France, advertising her Let's Spin intimacy gel,' she continued describing Berry's post. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Kelly accused Berry of looking 'like she's on drugs with that weird laughter' in her social media video. 'She looks very bizarre. Who celebrates Mother's Day by talking about how to lube up their vag, with their boyfriend in bed, from Cannes? This is so bizarre.' Kelly's followers said Berry looked ' horrible and old' with the conservative podcaster's guest Walter Kirn adding that the Monster's Ball star looked like she was 'trying to prove she's sexy and not a robot.' 'She's very anxious about her appeal,' Kirn continued. Kelly's comments came after she lashed out at some of the celebrities that attended the Met Gala in New York City earlier this month. 'The Met Gala is officially over. Dead. Done. Once the apex of high fashion culture and A-list celebrity, the gala now looks more like a sad sack D-list past its prime wannabe version of its old self. It's closer to today's nerd prom White House Correspondence Dinner than the centre of the celeb and beauty universe as it used to be,' she said. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Kelly also took aim at Blackpink's Lalisa Manobal for purportedly wearing a black-lace jacket and bodysuit that some onlookers speculated was embroidered with the face of civil rights icon Rosa Parks. 'Who is Lisa, you ask? Yes, I wanted to know too. She's the girl from White Lotus who was dating the security guard, remember? She's top notch star talent right there people, Lisa,' Kelly said. 'And how did Lisa interpret super fine dandyism? Apparently it meant putting Rosa Parks on her vagina … This was the height of culture and high couture. Civil rights icon Rosa Parks reduced to a vagina cover.' But a rep for the designer who collaborated with Lisa on the outfit told Vulture that speculation that the singer was wearing imagery meant to depict the '60s activist was untrue. 'The figure featured in Lisa's Louis Vuitton look is not Rosa Parks, but one of (designer) Henry (Taylor's) neighbours,' the rep said. 'The faces seen on this look, as well as on previous LV garments featuring Taylor's artwork, are all drawn from his personal life — family members, friends, and neighbours.' mdaniell@ Read More Toronto Maple Leafs Editorials Toronto & GTA Canada World
