Isn't it odd that Father's Day is the same in the US and UK, but Mother's Day is different?

Scared the crap out of me last year when I logged onto blather one Sunday to find a plethora of Mother's Day greetings...I was going "Shit! No! Surely it hasn't come round again already...it doesn't seem five minutes since the last one...aaaaargh!!"

I does seem odd doesn't it.....

It is a bit.. but I think it's a slightly different 'ritual' as it were. In the UK it's "mothering Sunday".. in the US it's simply "mother's day". I think there's a whole reason behind the UK one. I'd have to ask about it again... it's one of those things you forget about every year and get reminded of on the day, then promptly forget about and so on and so on...
