A family was having dinner on Mother's Day.  For some reason the mother was
unusually quiet.  Finally the husband asked what was wrong.

"Nothing," said the woman.

Not buying it, he asked again.  "Seriously, what's wrong?"

"Do you really want to know?  Well, I'll tell you.  I have cooked and
cleaned and fed the kids for 15 years and on Mother's Day, you don't even
tell me so much as "Thank you."

"Why should I?" he said.  "Not once in 15 years have I gotten a Father's Day
gift."

"Yes," she said, "but I'm their real mother."
