Make Mother

王敬之

平平淡淡最是真，祝母亲节日快乐……

In case you haven't noticed all those cute commercials and the signs in your favorite gift stores， Sunday， May 10， is Mother's Day—and it's time to come up with something spectacular.

But that doesn't have to mean spending a lot of money.

Moms are easy to please. It just takes a hug or a handful of daisies to make our moms smile. Here are some simple ideas for making Mom happy on her day—and every day.

1. Tell her when you look in the mirror， you think you look just like her. And try to sound happy about it.

2. Tell her all the sweet things your father ever said about her when she wasn't around.

3. Drive her to the doctor， and then take her to lunch. Listen to her complaints about all her aches and pains. Don't yawn.

4. Make her lunch： a peanut butter and jelly sandwich， some apple slices， a chocolate cookie and a glass of milk. Then sit down and talk about what a good job she did taking care of you when you were little.

5. Thank her for paying for school. Tell her you couldn't have made it without her.

6. Tell her she's funny.

7. Turn on some of her favorite tunes and ask her to dance with you.

8. Find an old photo of the two of you that you like， and get it framed for her.

9. Tell her you're happy.

10. Tell her you love her. Right now.

如果你還没有注意到那些可爱的广告和你喜爱的礼品店里的那些招牌的话，周日（5月10日）就是母亲节了，该是你做些与众不同的事情的时候了。

然而，这并不意味着你非得花很多钱。

母亲是很容易感到欣慰的。仅仅一个拥抱或送上一捧雏菊都足以让我们的母亲露出微笑。下面是一些让母亲高兴而又简便易行的方法，供大家在母亲节和平时参考使用。

1. 照镜子的时候告诉母亲你觉得你长得很像她。而且尽量表现出你为此很开心。

2. 告诉母亲她不在时父亲曾夸奖她的甜言蜜语。

3. 开车带母亲去看医生，然后再带她去吃午餐。倾听她对所有伤痛的抱怨。不要打哈欠。

4. 为母亲做顿午餐。一个花生酱加果冻三明治、一些苹果切片，一个巧克力甜点和一杯牛奶。然后坐下来告诉她小时候母亲对自己的照顾有多棒。

5. 感谢她为你支付了学费。告诉她如果没有她，你不可能完成学业。

6. 告诉母亲她很有趣。

7. 播放一些母亲喜欢的曲子并邀请她和你一起跳舞。

8. 找一张你所喜欢的你与母亲的合影，给它装上镜框，送给母亲。

9. 告诉母亲你很幸福。

10. 告诉母亲你爱她。马上就告诉她。
