love me for my brains

In response to the mother who wanted her husband to buy her mother's day gifts. She was disheartened, infuriated....fill in the blank because when she asked her husband what he was going to get her for mothers day, he had replied, "Nothing, you're not my mother."

At first I thought, what is wrong with this woman! Why must we as a society be so materialistic? We don't need gifts for valentines, anniversaries or mothers day. Is christmas and a birthday not enough?!
