Mother's Day carnations?

[mnhtnbb]

4. My husband and I were married the day before Mother's Day in 1985 in Los Angeles.

He had booked us in to the Disneyland hotel on our wedding night (prom night and crazy at the hotel).
The next morning we went to Disneyland and they were handing out carnations to every woman
coming through the gate. I had never heard of the custom--but accepted a red carnation--and wore
it all day at Disneyland. We headed for LAX that evening and flew to France where we honeymooned for
a month, but I still remember getting that carnation for Mother's Day when I was NOT a mother.
