There is nothing wrong with this the other 364 days a year. As a mother, I've learned that if I want to talk to my kids, I go where they are. I text my children, because they won't listen to voicemails. The funny thing is, I don't want to listen to voicemails anymore either.
In fact, I'm starting to hate talking on the phone. It takes too long, with all the "Hey, how are you?" eating up time at the beginning of a conversation, followed by the long drawn out goodbye—"OK, well, anything else going on?"

But this is Mother's Day. This day requires a moment, no, 10 minutes, of "sacrifice" to let your mother know you care about her so much you're willing to speak to her. I don't think even Jack Dorsey or Nick Bilton are just going to tweet mom on Sunday. As Twitter writes on the blog, "Even as much as moms love Twitter, we know that mom loves you the most."
