    Mothers Day Summary

    The play "Mother’s Day" is a humorous take on how mothers are often taken for granted by their
    families, and it highlights the change in behavior when the family realizes her worth.

    #### Main Characters:


    1. **Mrs. Annie Pearson**: A devoted but overworked housewife. She spends all her time doing
    things for her family but receives no appreciation in return.
    2. **Mrs. Fitzgerald**: Annie’s neighbor and friend. She is bold, confident, and knows how to
    make people value her.
    3. **Doris Pearson**: Annie’s daughter, who treats her mother disrespectfully and only thinks
    about herself.
    4. **Cyril Pearson**: Annie’s son, who is also careless and does not help his mother with
    household chores.
    5. **George Pearson**: Annie’s husband, who spends most of his time at the club and doesn’t
    give much attention to his wife.

    #### Plot Summary:


    - **The Problem**: Annie Pearson’s family takes her for granted. They are rude to her, don’t
    appreciate her efforts, and expect her to do all the housework without complaining.
    - **The Plan**: Mrs. Fitzgerald sees how unhappy Annie is and suggests a solution. Using
    magic, they switch personalities—Annie becomes bold like Mrs. Fitzgerald, and Mrs. Fitzgerald
    acts like Annie.
    - **The Transformation**: After the switch, Annie starts behaving differently. She becomes strict
    and no longer accepts being treated poorly.
    - She tells her daughter Doris to get her own tea and criticizes her for being rude.
    - She tells Cyril he has to help more around the house.
    - She even puts George in his place, making him realize that she deserves respect and that
    he should not spend all his time at the club.
    - **The Result**: At first, the family is shocked by Annie’s sudden change in behavior, but slowly
    they begin to understand how hard she works and how much she deserves their appreciation.
    They promise to treat her better from then on.

    #### Key Lessons:


    1. **Respect and Appreciation**: The play teaches the importance of respecting and
    appreciating mothers, who often work tirelessly for their families without any recognition.
    2. **Assertiveness**: Annie’s transformation shows how standing up for oneself can change how
    others treat you.
    3. **Family Balance**: Every family member should contribute to the household instead of
    leaving everything to one person.

    #### Important Points to Remember:


    - Mrs. Fitzgerald’s boldness helps Annie change her family’s behavior.
    - The role reversal is the main turning point in the play, leading to the family’s realization of
    Annie’s value.
    - The play uses humor to show the serious message of respecting the efforts of mothers.
