100 Worst Ways to Show Mom You Care

Have Test Candidates Submit Lousy Ways to Demonstrate Affection for Their Mothers to Win a Digital Camcorder

Ah, the stupid things we do (or don’t do) for our mothers. One of these days, maybe we’ll get it right. Our mothers brought us into this world, care for us, and we buy them cheap perfume for a birthday present in return.

In honor of finally doing right by Mom, here’s our list of some really idiotic things we’ve done to show we care in the past:

100. Dislocating her shoulder during an especially exuberant hug
99. Burping her favorite song
98. Saying “Thanks!” after she says, “I love you”
97. Volunteering to start the dishwasher after she loads it
96. Saying, “How ‘bout next time?” after every time she asks you a favor
95. Shushing her during an “important” TV commercial
94. Replacing all of her programmed radio stations on the family car with your favorites

And the Weekly Worst Way to Love Mom is …

93. Accidentally knocking her toothbrush into the wastebasket and recovering it without mentioning it to her
