Hello mortals, as queen of the gods, and mother of Hephaestus, Hebe, and Ares,
I was asked to write a post for this holiday "Mother's Day" or "Mothers' Day".
Anyway, Zeus, if you are listening, you will know that today will be your least your favorite day!
My favorite things to do during Mother's Day
-Torture my husband's other children, send a snake* or two, or make someone insane.
- Complain to Disney about their movie adaptation of the Twelve Labors of Hercules, and tell them that I am not and will never be the mother of Hercules!
- Revolt against Zeus. Remember that the Fates said there would be a downfall, my little cuckoo**? Well, I may be leading it, you never know.
-Send the many other demigod daughters, sons, grandson-son things (I'm not even going to ask) of Zeus on many labors, which hopefully they will fail.... Hopefully....
-Spend time with Hebe and my other children, and tell them how much I love them, and apologize to Hephaestus for throwing him off Mt. Olympus.***

What are some of your favorite things to do on Mother's Day? Have you ever tried to overthrow the annoying King of the Gods?
Farewell Mortals,
Hera, Queen of the Gods.
P.S. Aphrodite won the golden apple contest that said she was the fairest, but that doesn't mean I'm not the best mother! If there was another golden apple contest that said To the Best Mother I would win for sure!
Notes for mentions of mythology:
*Hera sent snakes in order to kill Hercules. She failed, since Hercules killed the snakes.
**Zeus disguised himself as a cuckoo in order to woo Hera and succeeded in the end.
*** When Hephaestus was born, Hera thought he was ugly and threw him off Mt. Olympus.
