If you didn't get your mom anything for Mother's Day, shame on you. But if she's mad at you for not getting her anything, tell her it could be worse.

Japanese police arrested a 17-year-old boy on Tuesday on suspicion of murdering his mother after he turned up at a police station carrying a severed human head in a bag. Police in Aizuwakamatsu, 125 miles north of Tokyo, said they arrested the teenager after officers found a beheaded body in the apartment where he lived. The boy told police he killed his mother on Monday evening while she was asleep.

Asked why he did it, he said "yeah, that was my bad, but she continued to put peas in my salad, and who likes peas? I mean c'mon."
