Mother's Day in TV-Land
A look at what our favorite TV moms are doing for Mother's Day
By: Mary Beth Sammons & Julie Ryan Evans
In honor of Mother's Day, we asked our favorite TV moms to tell us their perfect Mother's Day fantasies...
(Ok, we made this up... but whatever.)
Lynette, Desperate Housewives
Last year, in the midst of his wife's chemo, Tom threw on an apron, rallied the kids, Mrs. McCluskey, and Mrs. McCluskey's waffle iron and served up his own creation: French-toast waffles, the only food a gagging Lynette could stomach.
If only Mom's Day could be so Martha Stewart this year.
Instead, Lynette, clutching the wheel of her Pirus, peals out of Wisteria Lane, busts through the gates of Universal Studios and careens through "The Hills" and across the Mexican border, where she whips on one of her chemo bandannas, assumes a fake identity and holes up at a spa far, far away from her bratty kids and the cul-de-sac bitches.
Lynette, sprawled out in her cabana, smiles as visions of burning her suit-filled closet (remember when she had to work and take care of the kids, while Tom found himself?) dance in her head, and she raises her margarita to the heavens. Happy Mr. Mom's Day, Tom!
Alex, The Real Housewives of New York City
Instead of being hooked at the hip with her uber-creepy (and seemingly gay)
husband, she pulls the stick out of her a**, washes off her makeup,
dons some jeans and heads out of town to a Honky Tonk across the river. Once there she hooks up with a real man who would never be caught dead even talking about, much
less ATTENDING, a girls' night out.
Kris (Kardashian) Jennings (matriarch, "momager" of five daughters), Keeping Up with the Kardashians
Donning hair extensions to look like daughter Kim's twin, Kris takes a break from her kid's boutique, Smooch. She hires Tyra Banks to practice runway gliding whilst sipping lots (and lots) of wine. Suddenly, Hef appears, smooches the giggling Kris, and invites her to the Mansion to do a shoot for Playboy.
What more could a mom want?
