It’s time to honor that special woman in your life!
May 10 is Mother’s Day, but don’t fret if you have nothing planned — we saw that coming, and the Bay Ridge Nights Momma’s Boy Bureau has you covered!
On Friday night, take mom to see the Narrows Community Theater’s production of Adam Sandler’s 1998 flick “The Wedding Singer” at Ft. Hamilton Army Post Theater (403 General Lee Ave. between MacArthur Road and Pershing Loop). She laughed obnoxiously loudly when she took you to see the original at the Alpine, and now mom can mortify you in front of your neighbors 17 years later. The show is at 8 pm, and tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for seniors. Regardless of her age, buy your mom the $20 ticket — she will appreciate it.
On Saturday, grow a new tradition and take materfamilias to pick some carnations at Narrows Botanical Garden (Shore Road Park between Bay Ridge Avenue and 71st Street). The 20-year-old neighborhood nursery is trimming back with its annual plant sale, and this is your chance to give ma something to dote over other than you!
Sunday is the big day, and we’re going to defer to mom on this one — just do what she wants that day.
If you’re a real momma’s boy or girl, you can go for bonus points by taking your mom to the Regina Opera Company’s free performance of five pieces from George Bizet’s opera “Carmen” at Our Lady of Perpetual Help (5902 Sixth Ave. between 59th and 60th streets) at 8:30 pm. We’re told the opera doesn’t include any electric guitar or chase scenes, but don’t complain — mom is the prima donna this week.
On Wednesday, finally do something for yourself and go tell Jorge Posada what you really think about the Yankees when the 17-season Bombers veteran signs copies of his memoir at BookMark Shoppe (8415 Third Ave. between 84th and 85th streets) at 7 pm. You earned a day for yourself.
Oh yeah, and would it kill you to call more?
