Make Mother

王敬之

平平淡淡最是真，祝母親節日快樂……

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.

如果你還沒有注意到那些可愛的廣告和你喜愛的禮品店里的那些招牌的話，周日（5月10日）就是母親節了，該是你做些與眾不同的事情的時候了。

然而，這并不意味著你非得花很多錢。

母親是很容易感到欣慰的。僅僅一個擁抱或送上一捧雛菊都足以讓我們的母親露出微笑。下面是一些讓母親高興而又簡便易行的方法，供大家在母親節和平時參考使用。

1. 照鏡子的時候告訴母親你覺得你長得很像她。而且盡量表現出你為此很開心。

2. 告訴母親她不在時父親曾夸獎她的甜言蜜語。

3. 開車帶母親去看醫生，然后再帶她去吃午餐。傾聽她對所有傷痛的抱怨。不要打哈欠。

4. 為母親做頓午餐。一個花生醬加果凍三明治、一些蘋果切片，一個巧克力甜點和一杯牛奶。然后坐下來告訴她小時候母親對自己的照顧有多棒。

5. 感謝她為你支付了學費。告訴她如果沒有她，你不可能完成學業。

6. 告訴母親她很有趣。

7. 播放一些母親喜歡的曲子并邀請她和你一起跳舞。

8. 找一張你所喜歡的你與母親的合影，給它裝上鏡框，送給母親。

9. 告訴母親你很幸福。

10. 告訴母親你愛她。馬上就告訴她。
