Saturday 9: Like My Mother Does (2011)
On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In this song, Lauren Alaina tells us she knows she's beautiful and strong because she sees herself as her mother does. Who in your life consistently sees the best in you?
Well definitely my brother and family. And my friends.
2) She sings that her mother is her "rock." In this context, what do you think that means?
That she always has her back and that she is one she turns to for help.
3) When Lauren performed this song in concert, she brought her mother Kristy up on stage and held her hand as she sang. Kristy said she was touched, but also embarrassed because her daughter was the entertainer, not her. Do you get shy when all eyes turn to you?
Um… this was just before I gave a speech at the “Mother’s March on Hartford”

4) Lauren began reading in pre-school and always read well above grade level. As a child, were you a big reader? Are you a big reader today?
I’m now into audiobooks, last month I maxed out my library card and a book from Audible.
5) According to the National Restaurant Association, we like to eat out on Mother's Day, and brunch is especially popular. If you could have whatever you want for brunch, what would you order?
Lobster Benedict!
6) Mother's Day is the third biggest card-sending holiday in the US, just after Christmas and Valentine's Day. Who received the last card you purchased?
It has probably been over a decade since I sent them out.
7) While flowers are the most popular Mother's Day gift, jewelry comes in second. Are you wearing any jewelry as you answer these questions? If yes, did you receive it as a gift or buy it yourself?
Nope… I’m ready for bed.
8) According to the National Retail Federation, more and more of us are celebrating our mothers by taking her to a paint and sip event, a pottery class, or candle or soap making. Which of those four options do you think you'd enjoy the most?
It is a toss up between pottery class, or candle making.
9) While there's a spike in phone traffic on Mother's Day, these days it seems the trend is texting. On holidays, do you receive more calls or texts?
By now everyone should know by now… don’t text me! I think the last text message that I got is probably ago month.<
