Mother's Day

If movies and TV have taught us anything, it's that all mothers are NOT created equal. While some fictional moms might be willing to play the doting matriarch, others engage in twisted mind games, dole out severe corporal punishment and even commit murder most foul. Think about that the next time you forget to call your mom on Mother's Day.

Why are moms awesome? Here are (just a few) reasons why moms are awesome.

We hope you didn't forget that this Sunday is Mother's Day. If you did -- here's a friendly reminder. It's not too late to order flowers, but if you're strapped for cash you could always just write a heartfelt note. And maybe include one plot-related pun from a Disney movie...

If you're having a hard time coming up with a nice thing to say to your mom, because you want to say something nice, but you don't want to sound too sincere because GROSS people shouldn't share their feelings like that, you should watch this video from Rhett and Link.

Don't be confused by the fact that this video starts with a lady feeding a bunch of kangaroos -- this IS a video of a lady rocking out on the spoons. The kangaroo intro merely adds to its general amazingness.

Oh, moms. A generation of "digital immigrants," our moms have a real love/hate relationship with technology. While most moms we know love their iPads/Kindles/iPhones/weird off-brand tablets, they also seem to have a very hard time figuring them out, and have a tendency to get overwhelmed by tech problems.

In our digital age, you have to do more than just send your mom flowers and a card for Mother's Day. The woman who brought you into this world deserves at least one shout out on social media. Which is no big deal, really, since a tweet doesn't cost you anything and shouldn't take more than a minute or so to compose. Nevertheless, Neil Patrick Harris managed to make a hilarious mess out of the Twit

As the 2012 presidential race continues to heat up, voters are paying close attention to all the candidates (we're hoping), even how they react to Mother's Day. To celebrate moms everywhere (and in an effort to snag your future votes), President Barack Obama and presidential candidate Mitt Romney both released video tributes to honor the most important women in their lives.

Mother's Day is a time to say thanks for everything your mom has done for you. Whether she bailed you out of jail, had your back when you started that forest fire or made you dance in front of all of her friends, she did it out of love. Now it's time to return the favor, and what better way to show your gratitude than with a simple, "Thank you"?

Jimmy Kimmel is pretty funny. Fortunately, he's also humble enough to defer to people who are even funnier than he is, which is why he aired some of Gary Busey's advice for Mother's Day. Here's what Busey had to say; see if you agree.

This is a heartbreaking story about one women’s last chance attempt for compassion. Darlene Gant is a 46-year-old women suffering from stage-four breast cancer, and she doesn’t have long to live. Now her biggest concern is that she will not be alive to spend another Mother’s Day with her 11-year-old son, even though there is a trial drug in the works that could help prolong her life.

Moms do a lot for us. Even after we are no longer their responsibility, they are still doing things for us that we take for granted. We should be celebrating these great ladies every single day of the year, not just on Mother’s Day.

We would never trade our mothers for any other person in the world. That’s because we love them to death, owe them big time for all the love and attention they gave us as children, and would not have become the people we are today without their care and dedication. That’s also because the laws of time, space and physics don’t allow such a thing to be done. Of course, if such a thing could be done,

Mother's Day is just around the corner. That means if you haven’t done so already, now is the time to start figuring out how you're gonna win your mom's affection, or if you're the mother, how you're gonna guilt your children into showing them how much they care about you. Some mommies, however, won’t be getting a gift or brunch in bed and not because their kids forgot that it’s Mother's Day. Read

Mother's Day is the time of year to give your mommy the love and affection she deserves. Even baby animals know that. We've found a bunch of adorable newborn animals with their mommies to help you get in the spirit of the holiday.
