TV Moms, Animal Kingdom Moms, and Mother's Day! - Mental Floss Scatterbrained

In today's episode of Scatterbrained, we're talking Mother's Day! We first learn about a scientific study in which moms watched their teens play a driving game, which had an interesting impact on their risk-taking behavior. Then we switch over to TV moms, like Lorelai Gilmore and Marge Simpson, with a bunch of quick facts. We explore the unique habits of moms from the animal kingdom. And of course, we learn the history of Mother's Day itself. Finally, we help you pick out Mother's Day flowers.
