Holidays and mortality is what has my
nuts in a vise currently... among other
things, but being that it wasn't all that
long ago that my mother passed away
on Mother's Day, I find all the adverts
and 'shock & awe' Hallmark force fed
moments a tad overwhelming.
Just last year I about committed a
felony assault on a street vendor
selling bouquets for Mother's Day,
when I had quietly tried to pass by
without incident... but no, that didn't
happen... it wasn't what was said but
more how it was said.
And really, even if I were going to purchase
any flowers, the sales pitch was all wrong,
guilt-tripping anyone into giving up their loot
is never a solid sales technique.
