The Body Shop

You and your mom are going for a day out. You decide to

Go to the park – it’s such a lovely day that we might as well enjoy a nice walk and talk in the great outdoors.
Have coffee – it’s a nice day to just relax and chat in a quiet coffeeshop, followed by a light dinner.
Go run errands – there are a lot of Birthdays this month and the garage needs to be reorganized.
Go shopping – face it, you both have had a hard week, so it’s time for some new shoes.

Your mom is making dinner for you and your family. What does she cook?

A nice salad with fresh heirloom mushrooms, organic chard, and local goat cheese.
Spaghetti and meatballs with white toast.
Leftover meatloaf, easy mac, and salad-in-a-bag.
A balsamic and black pepper filet mignon with creamy herbed mashed potatoes and oven roasted asparagus.

You are at a shoe store with mom, what kind of shoes would she pick out for herself?

It’s vacation time! You and mom are off for a week from work, where do you go?

It’s Mother’s Day and you want to get mom some flowers. What do you pick out for her?

Daisies – these beautiful, bright flowers will make mom smile inside and out.
Lilies – elegant and beautiful, these flowers represent sophistication and experience.
Azaleas – abundant and resilient, a beautiful bouquet of Azaleas is the perfect thing to put mom in a good mood after a hard day.
Roses – elegant and classic, these flowers denote beauty, love and pride.

Keeping up with the day’s to-do’s can be a juggling act sometimes. How does your mom manage her schedule?

To-do list? What’s that? She does things as the mood strikes.
Just a simple pad of paper with the grocery list scribbled down in pencil.
She’s got a fancy smartphone with calendars, email, and a contact list a mile long.
The latest gadget from the hippest tech store. It has a million and one functions, but she only really uses the Bluetooth headset.

If your mom had a superpower, what would it be?

Healing Powers – she could help plants and animals flourish with good health.
Flying – she would feel the breeze in her hair as she floats along with the clouds.
Super Speed – she’d be able to move at the speed of lightning to use every second of time to her full advantage.
Shape Shifting – your mom could take on the form of anyone else, but would probably just end up looking like a younger version of herself.

The powers that be have bestowed us with an extra hour in the day. How would your mom spend it?
