Good Housekeeping is not typically a magazine synonymous with Pete Davidson, but they put together a cute Mother’s Day issue in honor of Pete’s new Peacock show, Bupkis. It’s about his life — Edie Falco plays his mother — and it is ALSO, I think, a bit edgier than GH. Good for them for taking a shot at something unusual; the pictures are pretty endearing, and I enjoyed when Pete’s mother entered the chat:
Pete: Mother’s Day is an important holiday in my household. We’re a close family, and growing up, my sister and I always tried to make things special, although I wasn’t always good at it. I’m pretty sure I bought her the same Britney Spears perfume eight years in a row. […]
Amy: One Mother’s Day, Pete outdid himself and made me an entire croquembouche. It was unimaginable, like something out of an exotic French bakery! A beautiful tower of cream puffs drizzled with chocolate caramel! It was mind-blowing and how I knew my little boy had something special, if this was what he could pull off when he focused his love and energy.[…]
Edie: One Mother’s Day when my kids were very little, they decided to have my breakfast waiting for me when I came downstairs in the morning. It was dinosaur oatmeal, the kind you rip open and add hot water to, and my coffee. Now, they were little, so they didn’t know I didn’t take sugar in my coffee. And they also didn’t quite know the difference between the salt and the sugar, so it wasn’t the best cup of coffee I ever tasted, but they won some serious points for adorableness.
Amy: My favorite Mother’s Day gift that I’ve ever received was simple and straight from the heart, and it didn’t even cost my kids anything. It was getting to appear on the Mother’s Day episode of Saturday Night Live every year from 2014 to 2022.
Edie: That does sound nice.
Amy: I got to meet Benedict Cumberbatch! And Jack White! We talked for over an hour. We’re friends now.
Pete: No, you’re not. And that wasn’t Jack White.
Amy: Really? Then who did I go to mini golf with?
