The news told me to call my mother

Honest, the TV news tonight really told me to call Mom.

Sure, I'm paraphrasing a tad. "If you're feeling stressed, skip the massage and call your mother."

A study out of the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that girls' comfort hormones (oxytocin) increased and stress (cortisol) decreased just by hearing mom's voice.

Oh, yeah, I have her on speed dial!
