"You are beheaded"

[MagicKeysToAsda]

Nothing quite says happy Mother's Day like an execution, does it? Treasuring my hand-drawn Horrible Histories card depicting Elizabeth I vs Mary with the latter the surprise victor partly because this is going to be comedy gold when the child is older if they let me loose on any kind of speech.

Anyone else have any touching sentiments to share, from today or years past?!

Most of the year DS calls me mummy, as you’d expect. Except special occasions I get referred to as the bin man. This mornings rendition of “happy birthday dear binman” was excellent
The kid loves the binman. That’s enough for me.

Love the list! I expect I would be "teller offerer" too if it helps soften the blow...

My mother’s day was ok this year as it was shop bought. My son (7) made me a card for my birthday however and at first I thought it was lovely then I read the bottom photo.

(He doesn’t know what it means and typed “mums birthday” into google)

DS1 is 11 and has become Kevin the Teenager. He threw my card onto my bed from the doorway and said "what's for tea?" it was 6:30 in the morning

The picture, since it didn't attach before... T is the one that got me!

Not mothers day but when DD was little she was at some craft group where they were making insect themed keyring for their mums. Every other child made a butterfly. I got a bluebottle :o
(still treasure it)

Love these. Wine and bikit sums me up too.

Ah, I've had the minecraft mum being shot by a minecraft creeper DS drawing for mothers day one year too I shall treasure it forever.

Also had a year when toddler DS2 sang happy birthday to me all day long, bless him. Apparently his half sister had tantrums all morning because her Mummy got a card and present and she didn't - she can only recall that at Christmas everyone got presents so she feels really left out today!

Oh god, the happy dropped out of your mums fanny card! I assume it wasn't intentional? I am cackling with laughter and horror at that one!

Haha I've just remembered a line from a poem on a mothers day card made by a pupil of mine (primary school) 'mummy and daddy make monkey noises'

I broke our bed by leaping on it like a lion to make baby ds laugh. It was only a few years later after is told everyone this I realised probably no one believes that version of events.

Adverse mine was a Chewbacca Angry Bird stress ball.

Here he is, I keep him by my bed.

Malope I misread the H as saying your voice is like a catflap which I thought was a bit harsh too.

Last year DS was 3 and it was the first year he (kind of) understood Mother's Day. DH asked him what he thought mummy would like, and DS chose a Lightning McQueen Lego set. Then helped me make it on Mother's Day morning! DH is very good and also sorted flowers and chocolates etc.

I love the acrostic! A (loud) voice like cat fur

6yo DD came home with a beautiful card she’d made at school... for her stepmum Thanks DD. She made me 3 in the end so it worked out ok. She also made me breakfast in bed, which was: a plate of chopped banana, a plate of chopped banana mixed with chopped plum, and a bowl of dry cereal. I was pleased but would have been even more so if it had been later than 6.30am when she bounced in with it!

@Roomba no he has no idea what it means and was quite hurt when I burst into hysterics. I will keep it forever as it still makes me laugh. The shock and horror as I read it was unbelievable. Absolutely Hilarious at the time. I’ll show him one day when he’s older and understands what it means

I can't decide if loud cat fur, fanny-dropping, or freaky chewbacca made me snort the most...
Also v much enjoyed the "monkey noises" - good luck living that one down!

FreezerBird That image has me crying laughing!
