It is Mother’s Day. There will be cards, flowers, kisses, laughter… Making a woman happy is very easy… but expensive. Keep in mind that ‘lady’ means a woman, who managed to create the conditions when the only thing left for you is to be a gentleman. So, don’t dispute her taste… just pay for it. A...
