Justin Bieber said it best when he sang, "My mama don't like you, and she likes everyone." Moms are a special, special thing. The only women who can exemplify love at all times, yet still be ready/willing to harm anyone who hurts you. There are a million reasons to thank your mom, but here are 27 of the very best:
1. For always dropping your textbooks off
at the Post Office for you because it gives you literal anxiety.
2. For giving you complete control of the
DVR when you're home because she understands that your need to keep up with the Kardashians trumps her need to watch “Fixer Uppers.”

3. For those middle school days when you
would get in arguments with other girls and their mom would call your
mom, and your mom would always be on your side.
4. ...Even when you were wrong.
5. For always telling you which picture
you look best in for your potential Instagram posts.
6. For always replying to those 11:30 p.m.,
“Are you awake?” texts.
7. For disliking anyone who ever hurt your
feelings.
8. ...ever.

9. For getting mad that you charged your
Netflix account on her credit card, but continuing to pay for it
every month.
10. For being understanding when you move
home for the summer and your stuff consumes the whole house.
11. ...just kidding. Maybe not.
12. For never friend-ing your friends on
Facebook and instead waits for them to friend her (because everyone wants
to be friends with her, duh!)
13. For meeting you at KFC halfway between
your hometown and college just because you miss the sound of her
voice.
14. ...and then proceeding to buy you the KFC.
15. For not taking “Moe's Monday” as a
valid excuse to overspend, but then always putting more money in your
account.
16. ...for more “Moe's Monday,” obviously!

17. For supporting you in every single
thing you do.
18. Even the things you're not any good at
(i.e. sports.)

19. For those little gifts she brings
whenever she comes to visit you at college.
20. For paying $15 extra every month
because you go over your phone data. (She does send you a strongly-worded text message about this, though...)
21. For immediately texting you asking,
“Who is that? Is he a potential?” after a boy comments or likes
any of your photos.
22. Wait, actually, why am I thankful for that?
23. I don't even know, but I still am!
24. For always sending you pictures of your
pets when you're not at home.
25. ...and for FaceTiming you with them.
26. For those “Would you wear this?”
texts when she's out shopping and sees something she thinks you would
like.
27. For loving you unconditionally despite
your dramatic tendencies, intense overspending habits and ability to make the house a wreck anytime you're home.
