Mother's Day questions for Debbie Phelps

Debbie and Michael Phelps Debbie Phelps, mother of Michael Phelps and author of a new book, answered a few questions for my colleague Susan Reimer today. Among the answers was what she expected from her gold-medal-winning son for Mother's Day.

"A hug and a kiss. He's not really the flower type," she told Susan.

C'mon, Mrs. Phelps; you've done a lot for this young man. If you can't get more out of him, where does that leave the rest of us?
