If you live in the United States, you probably know that today is Mother's Day.  Cameroonian  mothers however,  will have to wait another three weeks for their day.  For them it is not a commercialized holiday.  In fact the date will rate little more than a passing glance.  Fathers will not be training their children to honor their mother.  Mothers will not be receiving gifts or even a card.  And certainly nobody would think of taking Mom out to a restaurant for a fancy dinner.  But Mother's Day IS noted on the list of public holidays.  This year it will fall on Sunday, May 29th.  

If you are an American Mom, maybe you are glad to be living in America on this your special day.
