NEW YORK – On Sunday, Lorne Hershing, a 22 year old Queens native, woke up elated to find his social media news feeds crowded with tributes to mothers accompanied by pictures worthy of his collection. “Yes, a great harvest! This what I wait all year for – this is my Christmas morning,” said Hershing as he dragged an Instagram of an old co-worker posing with her mother into a folder labeled “mom slides 4”. Said Hershing, “I’m happy people are shedding their reservations of sharing pictures of their mothers with countless near-strangers – I just think it’s better for everyone this way.” At press time, Hershing was circling Thanksgiving on a calendar in anticipation for “the possibility of starting an aunt catalogue”.
