Last year the Space Alien had taken Your Editor out for a lovely dinner and given her a beautiful framed self-portrait.

But this year restaurants were closed, and the Space Alien's official photographer was on assignment for major news outlets taking pictures of those showoff but oh-so-dangerous Corona Viruses!
"I could visit her," thought the Space Alien. "I'm imaginary so it wouldn't really be breaking her building's COVID-19 rules against visitors."
"But that doesn't seem fair; and how would I get one of my special cakes to her if I couldn't deliver it myself?"
"I think I'll give her a call on Mother's Day," concluded the Space Alien, getting out an old but serviceable cell phone.
"She likes to talk a lot," thought the Space Alien.
"Sometimes she can be a little repetitive and even boring but that's ok!"
The Space Alien and the entire staff of the Space Alien Gazette wish you and yours a Happy, Healthy and SAFE Mother's Day!
