These Mothers Got The Gift Of Laughter For Mother’s Day
Mother's Day is the perfect time to show your mother how much you love her and make up for the 364 days a year that she is the personal chef, chauffeur, and cleaning staff for the household.
How you choose to show that appreciation is up to you, though, and not every mother is going to end up getting something that perfectly encapsulates how much her family loves her.
The important thing is they're trying, and even if it's not the best present, hopefully, it'll at least make you laugh!
Sometimes You Have To Improvise
This is what happens when you wait until the day of Mother's Day to go out and purchase a card. You're going to get left with all the cards no one wanted, or in this case, a card for a different occasion.
This Is Too Much, She Can't Accept This
Every mom deserves to be pampered on Mother's Day! A spa day is something most moms would appreciate, but what they're going to need a lot more than the cosmetics kit from a hotel to make that happen.
Oh, You Thought They'd Forgotten About That? You Thought Wrong.
Of course your children are going to use the day meant for appreciating their mother to remind you of the one time that you were a less than perfect parent. We wouldn't want to let you forget about that incident!
Setting The Bar Low For Next Year
There's a strategy when it comes to giving presents for Mother's Day. If you give too good of a gift, then you'll set the bar too high for next year, so you have to keep mom's expectations in check.
What're You Trying To Say?
If you're looking for the perfect gift to annoy your mother for Mother's Day but also won't hurt too much when she throws it at you, this is the gift you're looking for.
It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time...
In theory, what mother wouldn't want to receive two custom pillows with pictures of her kids on them for Mother's Day? It was a great idea, but the execution left a little to be desired.
Fill In The Blanks
Your mother taught you never to tell a lie, so if you don't have 10 things you love about her, she's going to have to settle for an ethically sourced, truthful two reasons.
Age Is Just A Number
There's a certain age where children can no longer get away with gluing some raw macaroni to a piece of paper and calling it a Mother's Day present. Most kids abandon that method by the time they hit high school, but maybe 33 will be the year for Josh.
Keeping The Praise Realistic
You wanted a little appreciation for all that you do, and now you've got it! You can't be picky. Knowing that he appreciates you keeping him alive is worth more than any Hallmark card.
Personalized Gifts Are Usually Best, Except In This Case
For years, your mother has talked about how much she dislikes that one school photo of you. So naturally, rather than letting it fade into the background and never talking about it again, you turned it into a giant blanket.
Dropping Subtle Hints
Lull her into a false sense of security by telling your mom how much you love her and care for her, then hit her when she least expects it. Works every time.
Maybe We're Just Not "Getting" IT
Art is subjective... Maybe we're just not understanding the piece because the only thing we're taking away from this Mother's Day gift is that this mom should sleep with one eye open.
Just Wait Until She's A Teenager
The bond between a mother and daughter is a tough one to put into words, but if you had to, this about sums it up. It's mostly love, but every once in a while there are some other emotions tossed in there.
Did Dad Make You Write This?
One of the main things you teach your children when they're young is that they shouldn't lie, but in a time like this, a little white lie wouldn't have hurt anyone.
Everybody's A Critic, But Not Everyone Is An Artist
Unless your kid is some sort of child prodigy when it comes to art, if they choose to draw you a portrait, there's a good chance you're going to be at least a little offended by it.
A Friendly Reminder
Why are moms and dads the only ones that get celebrated? They get birthdays and Christmas like the rest of us, why don't the kids get a day of appreciation featuring presents and flowers?
Every Husband Was Thinking It
She isn't your mother, but she is the mother of your children and part of the reason that you get presents for Father's Day, so the least you can do is buy her a card.
Doesn't That Just Warm Your Heart?
Having a day dedicated completely to appreciating your mom means she's at risk of becoming too full of herself, so you have to keep her and her ego in check.
Always Communicate With Your Siblings
If your mom is someone who is hard to find gifts for, it's important that you plan out what everyone is going to get her. Don't fall into the trap of asking her what she wants and then going out to buy it without consulting your siblings. Otherwise, she'll end up with four of the same book.
Define "Nice" Photo
The older you get, the less willing you and your siblings are to sit for posed photos, and the less likely you are to want to take family photos. All your mom wanted was a nice photo of you and your brother for Mother's Day, and that's what she got.
Give Her The Gift She Really Wants
Every year, mom is going to tell you that she just wants your love for Mother's Day, and maybe a new coffee mug or a nice flower arrangement. But this kid knew better. He saw through the lies and got his mom something she'd actually use.
Memories Are Always Worth More
Every time your mom pulled out that photo at a party to show her friends, you would get annoyed, but you also knew that you could use it to make her smile without having to spend a single penny.
For A Woman Of Many Talents
You call your mother many names throughout your life, but that doesn't mean she's going to like all of them, and we're guessing if you start calling her "taxi driver," she's not going to respond.
No Help From Dad With This Breakfast
Usually, if moms request breakfast in bed, they do so knowing that their spouse is going to help the kids out, but in this case, dad left the kids to their own devices... Look how that turned out.
Appreciate It From A Distance
Homemade gifts always seem like a nice idea when you're trying to think of something to get your mom, but they don't often turn out as well as you'd hope. You end up with a "demonic yellow mug" like this one that you now hide at the back of the cupboard and never use.
He Made You Who You Are
This day might be about you, but let's not forget why we're really here. If it weren't for him, this would just be a regular Sunday in May with no celebration.
Throwing Your Sibling Under The Bus Always Works
Any opportunity to tear down another sibling and build yourself up has to be taken advantage of. Get your shots in whenever you can, but still give mom some chocolate so she's not as upset about it.
There's A Strategy To Signing Cards
If you can, always be the last one to sign the card. Let your siblings say their piece, then you can write whatever you want and hand it to mom without ever needing your siblings' approval.
Give Her The Gift Of A Heart Attack
Many mothers dream about the day that they're going to become grandparents and look forward to it, but they don't want to find out that day has come when their son is only 16. Lucky for this mom, it was just a joke... for now.
Accidents Happen!
Your mom made the mistake of telling you that you weren't actually a completely planned pregnancy, and now you're going to spend the rest of your life making sure she regrets that mistake.
