I hope you can have a relaxing day, away from me and my follies. Mom, I know I’m your pride and joy… unless you look at your bank account. “Can you see what I did on my cell phone?” is the new “Have you eaten”? Mom, I hope you can enjoy some peace and quiet on Mother’s Day… before I get home. Mom, on Mother’s Day I give you permission to blame me guilt-free all day long. Good mothers day! I promise you that for this day I will not do anything to make you angry… or at least I will try. Mom, you are the strongest and bravest woman I know… especially for putting up with me all these years! Mom, thank you for teaching me to take responsibility… and for covering me whenever I didn’t. Mom, I know you’re a real boomer, but for Mother’s Day I’m finally teaching you how to use emoji. Let’s start with the smiley faces! Good mothers day! Today I promise not to ask you questions like “Have you tried turning your phone off and on again?” Mom, you’re so good at using social media that you don’t even remember how to close an app anymore. But we love you anyway! “You are the best, even when you ask me for the hundredth time how to send an email!” Mom, you are so loving that you turn off the WiFi at night to let him rest. Reminder for Mom: if you don’t receive messages it’s easy you have set your status to “airplane”. I want to give you an intensive course on Instagram. So you can start liking my posts instead of commenting on them with 20 emojis the phone to your ear.
