Mother's Day

5/4/2022

0 Comments

 
   When we celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May, it’s thanks to U.S. president Woodrow Wilson, who signed a measure in 1914 officially establishing the holiday. Since then, Mother’s Day gifts have been the focus of most Mother’s Day ideas, though Mother’s Day cards—and the Mother’s Day wishes written inside—remain top of mind too.  But as great as gifts for mom are, nothing beats spending time together. Maybe that looks like Mother’s Day brunch or Mother’s Day movies on repeat from morning till night.  No matter how you choose to honor the special moms, grandmas, and like-a-mom ladies in your life, know that it’s sure to be deeply appreciated.
 
Mother’s Day jokes:
  • “After a long day, my favorite thing is to think of something for dinner that everyone will eat.” --No mother, ever
  • I’d love to be a Pinterest mom, but it turns out I’m more of an Amazon Prime mom.
  • Showering as a mom should be an Olympic sport: Everyone’s yelling your name, you have to beat the clock, and you rarely win a medal.
  • I hate when I’m waiting for Mom to cook dinner—and then I remember I am Mom.
  • I live in constant fear of having to share a “fun fact” about me.
  • I would like to officially apologize to my toddler for opening her granola bar from the top instead of the bottom. I don’t know what I was thinking.
  • Mom’s casseroles come in two sizes: not enough and enough to feed an army with leftovers.
  • Have you heard the urban legend about what happens when you scream “Mom” three times in the shower? A nice lady appears with the towel you forgot.
  • I love all my children equally. Except for the one who sleeps. I love that one more.
  • Mom’s recipe for iced coffee: Have kids. Make coffee. Forget you made coffee. Put it in the microwave. Forget you put it in the microwave. Drink it cold.
  • I love my kids. Not enough to flip the chicken nuggets halfway through cooking, but I love them.
  • Mom sleep: the state of rest where your eyes are closed but you can still hear everything your kids are doing.
