Whoa, Mama!

Helen's taking a stroll down cliche road for Mother's Day, but I guess it's good that she's spending the day at home. Hopefully Jake will remember what day it is, Quinn will hand her a card on her way out for a date, and Daria will poke her head out of her room long enough to wish her well. After all, in addition to being a mother Helen also has to brace herself and call her own mother, and I don't wish that horror on anyone.

I'm sure Helen is hoping that the rest of the family will help her out by celebrating Clean up Your Room Day, which means Daria might finally have to do battle with the dust bunnies under her bed.
