Dad: DEAR AMANDA, DON'T KNOW....... I'LL HAVE TO CHECK WITH MOM........LOVE, DAD
Me: DO NOT TELL HER THE PLAN! IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A SURPRISE! And PS, you don't "check" with her. She has nothing else going on [on Mother's Day] unless her family is taking her someplace and we're her family. You tell her just that she now has plans.
