Funny Messages for Mom 

If making Mom laugh is more your style—or if showing lots of emotion is uncomfortable for you—a funny Mother’s Day message might feel like a more genuine way to connect with her. 

 

  • Mom, I was lucky enough to inherit your eyes and your sense of humor. I keep hoping I’ll get your lie-detector capabilities, too!
  • Happy Mother’s Day, from your favorite child. (It’s okay, I haven’t told the others.)
  • Roses are red, violets are blue. I brought you this Mother’s Day card…mind if I raid the fridge, too?
  • If I ever win the lottery, I’m totally making sure you get all the overtime pay you deserve for being our family’s taxi driver, on-call nurse, personal shopper, and referee.
  • One day a year to recognize a job that gets no days off a year? Get in the car, Mom…we’re unionizing.
  • You know, Mom, it was really cool of you to ignore all those times I got home past curfew. What, you don’t remember that? Haha, just kidding, me either!
  • I’m so grateful for your love—and the fact that you have never shared my bath-time pictures on social media.
  • 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. Agreed?

For Someone Like a Mother 

If you’re very lucky, you have an auntie, godmother or another caring woman close to you who has been a unique mix of a friend, family, mentor and/or bonus mom to you through the years. Here are some things you might say to someone who’s like a mother to you on Mother’s Day.

 

  • Auntie, there’s simply no one else like you. I’m so blessed we’re family…and that we’re friends.

  • Happy Mother’s Day to an amazing woman I’ll always admire, appreciate and love!
