When I was 12 or 13 I was asked to speak in Sacrament Meeting on Mother's Day. I prepared and delivered what I considered to be a great talk, except for one thing: my Mom wasn't there and she didn't know I was speaking that day. She and my Dad were out of town that weekend. When she got home and found out from my siblings and neighbors that I had given a talk she told me she would have stayed in town to listen to it had she only known. When she asked me why I hadn't told her, I replied simply, "You didn't ask."Well, Mom, I've grown up a little. Hopefully I'm not the same nerdbomber I was as a squirrelly, young teenager. I no longer expect you to read my mind and I'd like you to know that I will be speaking in Sacrament Meeting on Mother's Day this week. You're invited to attend, but I'll understand if you have plans to be out of town.

I think your mother should make every attempt to be there lol.
Ha ha ha this is so foreign to me because my mom DEFINITELY knew when I was speaking because she wrote my talks!!! HA HA, THANKS MOM!
