This Sunday isn't simply the annual ceremony wherein we honor our mothers. It is also the day we honor the mothers we are fucking, or the mothers we would like to fuck. Mother-fucking is not a covenant to be entered into lightly or unadvisedly, but discreetly, reverently and with great deliberation. Your MILF deserves nothing less than the choicest events Portland has to offer.
Flava de Mayo
Nothing says "You are my flavor of love, you mother of somebody's children" quite like an evening in the rarefied company of Flava Flav. She will know this night is special because he's wearing a giant clock.
Babies

In a relationship, it is important to find common interests. She had a baby at least one time; you are dating somebody who had a baby. Common interest!
Grieg Lodge Mother’s Day Pancake Breakfast
If by chance your MILF is a Norwegian flight attendant, she is sure to enjoy this taste of her homeland. If she is not, she probably still enjoys pancakes. Everybody likes pancakes.
Nickelback
Sometimes you cannot find the words to say how you really feel. You have to let a poet say the words for you. Example: "Dressed up like a princess/ Bettin' that her skin smells/ Better than the scent of every flower in the desert, come on!"
The Mother of All Improv Shows
Spontaneity is the best way to keep the spark in your romance. This improv show is based on information provided from the mothers in the audience. This would be a great time to let everybody know that you are fucking.
