You are great kids! Hope you've had an anniversary-type special day!
(The following is from a wedding anniversay site. I could have written it myself, but I ran out of time. Copy and paste comes in so handy!)
While many people believe that the individual years of a marriage are not as significant as the 5, 10, 20, 25 year increments, the truth is that each year of a marriage is special and unique. Each anniversary is an important milestone, and should be considered a significant step forward in your life together.
Many people follow the traditional themes of celebration and gift giving for their anniversary, a practice we (I) wholeheartedly encourage. In this tradition, each year celebrates a specific quality symbolized by a particular material. The more commonly known expressions are the silver (25 year) and golden (50 year) anniversaries. The traditional and modern gift recommendations for each anniversary have symbolic meaning associated with the path of successful marriages, and are a great way of reinforcing the hard work that goes into making a happy marriage.
The traditional recommendation for a second anniversary present is cotton.
Cotton symbolizes durability and versatility. Two years into a marriage, you now have the experience to realize that these traits are necessary for a successful marriage. As 2 years is early in the life of any marriage, cotton also represents a practical material that can be used in building the household of a new couple, such as bedding, table cloths, bath robes, towels, clothing, and of course underwear!

Cotton? Mom, you're coo-coo. And the song playing is talking about chopping off heads.
