Labor Day weekend is finally here. We often see this holiday as an end to summer and back to the old grindstone. But we should solemnly take a look at what this holiday means to us as Americans.
Looking at the end result we often ignore the harrowing efforts that mothers have exerted to become a mother to their glorious offspring. LABOR!!! As we celebrate this holiday let’s take a closer look at what it is really all about. Let’s examine and delve into what mother’s really go through to give birth to a child. Even though there is a special holiday for labor pains I don’t think we (or do I mean men?) appreciate the agony that expectant mothers go through.
When pregnancy reaches it’s end and labor looms closer and closer, fun activities, that disguise the excruciating pain that will soon ensue, pop up all over the place. 
Baby showers are attended and cute little toys and even cuter little outfits are received with joy. Baby Car seats are purchased with total safety in mind and fancy teethers are acquired to satisfy the little bundle of joy.. Doctor visits are accompanied with ultrasound pictures that are proudly framed and shown to anyone that will take the slightest notice of them. This is all a trick people! It’s all a conspiracy to make mothers think it is a breeze to delivery a baby.
Labor is hell. Let’s face the facts here. If I had to do it over again I would ask for every drug imaginable to eliminate any and all pain. I would beg for mercy and promise my doctor that I would be his slave for the rest of my life. This simple use of drugs would eliminate cursing at the father, cursing at the nurses, cursing at the doctors and screaming like a maniac.
Let us all pause for a moment and honor our mothers who have lovingly gone through labor to populate our world full of little rugrats. Greet expectant mothers with a hug and tell them you are so proud of them for undertaking the nine months it takes to get to the point of being in labor and suffering such pain. I’m certain the response will be taken well.
Let’s give a special nod to all you mothers out there that actually have your child on Labor Day. I am proposing that special legislation be put in place to give these mothers a lifetime supply of valium and their children will have a nanny till age 48.
It is Labor Day isn’t it…not April Fool’s Day?
