    18 better things to say to your mom on Mother’s Day
        母亲节：送给妈妈的18句最美专属“情话”
    Mother’s Day is a very special day, meant for telling your mother how much
she means to you, and not for saying, ’Oh, shit that’s today?’ when she calls
you.
    母亲节是一个极其特别的日子。在这一天，你应该让你的母亲明白她在你心中的意义非凡，而不是在她给你打电话时，你却下意识脱口而出，“该死，母亲节居然是今天么。”
    If you are in risk of mentioning the latter this Mother’s Day, here’s a
helpful list filled with nicer, heartfelt sentiments you should use instead. You
want your mother to know you care about her, not that the day in her honor never
crossed your mind.
