Mother's Day: The Middle

Imagine the perfect Mother's Day. Does it involve getting woken up at 6:30 in the morning to running eggs and burnt freezer waffles? Well that is how Frankie's Mother's Day started on this episode of The Middle.

Oh and my favorite part is when Mike announces that he is going to go watch Sport Center and let Frankie hang out with the kids because it is her day after all.

The Middle Season 1 Episode 22 "Mother's Day"



Frankie doesn't get the best Mother's Day. She get woken up early to a bad breakfast and bad gifts. She really didn't want an inflatable foot massager.

When Frankie's mom, Pat, cancels dinner plans, Frankie and Sue drive out to see her. During the drive Sue admits to stealing a refrigerator magnet. The guilt has gotten to her and they have to pull over do Sue can throw up on the side of the run. Another great element in a Mother's Day celebration.

Once the mother and daughter arrive at their destination, they learn that Pat just wanted a day to herself alone. Frankie, Pat and Sue all end up in tears.

When Pat and Sue return home, the house is trashed, and Mike forgot to buy Frankie the slice peach pie that she wanted. The next day Frankie goes and buys herself a slice of peach pie to enjoy in peace all by herself.

A great Mother's Day special from start to finish.

The Royal Wedding: The Office Wedding

I'm not sure which one was more anticipated Jim and Pam getting married or William and Kate. I'm pretty sure people wouldn't get up at 4 am to watch Jim and Pam get married.

Happy Royal Wedding Everybody.
