21 little things to thank your mam for this Mother's Day
1. Being a receptive ear to your tales of woe. Coming down with a cold? You poor pet. Bad day at work? Ah thatâs terrible
2. But at the same time, telling you to buck up and stop moaning
3. Forcing you to go to the doctor/dentist when you definitely werenât going to do so
4. Clutching at your hand before you cross the road, even though youâre firmly into adulthood
5. Making you eat your vegtables all those years ago
6. Not completely losing the rag that time you had a monumental tantrum at age 14 because she didnât approve of you seeing that lad Paul
7. Being 100% right about that lad Paul
8. Calling when youâre on the train home to see if you want a bit of dinner left for you to have when you get in
9. Sending you random but delightful pictures of the family pet on Whatsapp
10. Saving articles from the paper she thought youâd like to read
11. Texting you to say thereâs a letter for you and would you like her to open it?
12. All those lifts she gave you to training and piano lessons and friendsâ houses
13. That supernatural sense she has of where you left that thing you suddenly canât find
14. Discovering Facebook and subsequently commenting âMy lovely son/daughter!â every time you change your profile picture
15. Remembering all your friendsâ names, even the ones sheâs never met
16. Cooking a boat load of sausages for you and your mates the morning after a night out
17. Sending you back up on the train with at least three tubs of leftovers
18. Talking you through key adult skills, like how to use a washing machine, over the phone
19. Gazing appreciatively at your outfit for a wedding/night out, saying âWell arenât you all style?â, and making you feel like a million dollars
20. Never fully accepting you calling your flat âhomeâ
21. And loving us through the meltdowns, expensive orthodontics, and terrible teenage years. Thank you, mams!
