Just FYI…Mother’s Day is Sunday, and since most of us came from mother’s, we should probably find the one that claims us and show a little appreciation. She did push you out into the world you know? And your head was the size of a cantaloupe, so that couldn’t have been pleasant.
So in case you haven’t picked up a cheesy card, a new bathrobe, or made a Macaroni necklace to show mom what she means to you, let me offer some ideas…
1. Write a song. Bonus points if you include the phrase “Remember the time when…” followed by a story about one time you got in a ridiculous amount of trouble and she threatened your life. Hopefully the awesomeness of the song will take away the sting of your stupidity.
2. Paint a picture. With finger paint. On the wall.
3. Hug her. It must be at a completely random time when she’s not expecting it. Try to create some tears for this moment and between the sniffles whisper, “I love you mommy. Can I have $20?”
4. Make a card. Hallmark is overrated. A handmade card with glitter and sequins that smells like cologne from her 17 year-old son is something she’ll treasure.
5. Cook her a meal. It’s got to be more than a bowl of Fruity Pebbles with a glass of chocolate milk.
6. Rub her feet. Point out mystery green fungus. Capture her reaction on video. Post to YouTube.
7. Act out a play. Get some friends together and recreate your birth into the world. Especially moving if you can be covered in greasy Crisco when you emerge.
8. Tell her you love her. She’ll wonder one of a few things: 1) what did you break? 2) did you sell one of your siblings? 3) how much money do you need? or 4) did you drink too much Red Bull?
What other creative ideas do you have to show mom your loving affection?
