Mother's Day in Japan

Japan is adorable. Japanese Mother's Day (May 12, which I think is the same as elsewhere?) is therefore equally adorable.

Look at the adorable gift from my coworker:

Justin is the brown dog, I'm the white rabbit, and Mystery Child is the dog-rabbit hybrid. Dobbit?
This is darker than I thought...

Ever wonder why Japan is so much politer than other countries? In Japan, children start learning manners BEFORE BIRTH. Hey, with the queasies and the pukies and the ever-expanding wardrobe costs, Baby's already got a lot to thank me for! I dig this!
