Face it, it’s pretty clear why we love our children. After all, who can resist a miniature person who has the same eyes as you, someone who wants to be around you every waking moment, and who, at least at first, thinks you’re the smartest person in the entire universe and that the sun rises and sets on your head?
For this Mother’s Day I’ve compiled a collection of random quotes from children telling why, exactly, they love their moms. Here they are, in no particular order.
I love my mom because…
