Mother's Day is for Squirrels Too?

My mother has been (rightfully) accused of having the world's fattest squirrels in her yard.  I wonder why?  I was going to scold this one for her gluttony, but Mom reminded me that it was Mother's day and the squirrel probably needed that nourishment to feed her young brood. What a crock!  If I'm ever reincarnated, I want to come back as any one of the lucky, indulgent animals living the good life in my Mother's back yard ;)
