Happy mother's day!

It's National Mother's day. Happy to all mothers! How is mother's day in your conlang?

How did the Latvian idiom become this?

Usually, as a native Latvian, I can tell how the idiom became, but I am lost on this one. The idiom I'm talking about is "pūst pīlītes". How did the idiom mean to lie?

I did kind of think that people would say back nonsense like "to blow ducks" as to call others for lying, but if that's the case then why ducks? Why blow them?
