Don't you think it's funny that you're still my mother? You should’ve been promoted by now!

Mom, I was lucky enough to inherit your nose and your laugh. I keep hoping I’ll get your BS-detector capabilities, too!

Mom, you're one of my favorite parents. And I mean that sincerely.

This Mother’s Day, I’d like to propose a deal—I’ll promise to visit more often if you’ll promise to stop referring to the dog as my brother. Are we in agreement?

Congratulations, you did a great job raising me to be the most amazing human being!

One day a year to recognize a job that gets no paid vacation? It’s time to go, Mom…we’re unionizing.

Thanks for putting up with me, mom. I know you like a challenge.
