Things “Mother And Child Reunion” was inspired by, according to Wikipedia:

• Paul Simon’s dog dying
• A chicken and egg dish Paul Simon saw on the menu at a Chinese restaurant

Things with which “Mother And Child Reunion” would appear to have no relationship whatsoever:

• Mother’s Day

Compelling reasons not to post this funky 8-bit cover of “Mother And Child Reunion” I just found:

• None

If you’re a mom, happy Mother’s Day! If you’re not, call your mom, tell her you love her, and then walk outside and high five the first lady with a baby you see!
