Mother’s Day is coming, and while flowers are lovely and brunch is great… nothing says “I love you, Mom” like a joke that makes her laugh and roll her eyes.
Let’s be real — moms are comedy icons. They accidentally say the funniest things, react to chaos like seasoned pros, and somehow make “Where are your socks?” sound like stand-up material.
Whether you’re scribbling a joke inside a handmade card, surprising her with pancakes slightly too burnt, or just need something to read while hiding in the bathroom — these jokes are for you.
