6 Folks Shared The Fave Memory They Have With Their Mum I’ve Never Heard Anything More Adorb

Hello, my fellow ‘pumpkins’, Mother’s Day is coming up and that means it’s time to celebrate the women who forged us in blood, sweat, tears, and whatever food will shut us up. It’s that time of year when everyone collectively remembers they haven’t called their mum in a few weeks and that they should make plans. But most importantly, it’s also the time of the year that we reminisce and reflect on our relationship with the human that raised us. Whether it’s taking you to a soccer game, consoling you after your first break up, or scolding you because you disrespected her cooking, our mums are uniquely iconic. We asked people to share some of their favourite memories they’ve had with their mum. Get the tissues, it’s gonna get sweet.

My favourite memory was when I was about five or six and she would just paint my sister’s and my faces on the weekends. We’d be flowers or butterflies and it was the highlight of my week every week. I definitely think this helped fuel my creative side for sure, and it was such a fun thing to do together. It’s hard to pick just one, but generally, the happiest memories I have with my mum are from when we lived and travelled overseas for a year as a family. She’s absolutely nuts and down to try (almost) anything, so she makes for a phenomenal travel companion! The period of our lives where we’d just travel together was such a new and exciting time in our lives! Neither of us had been overseas before and it was so cute and fun to be able to do that together. Family was very important to my mum. She grew up without a mother of her own, so she would never tell us she loved us. She did not know how to say it. When the grandchildren came, that was a different story. They taught her how to say “I love you” and she used it all the time on them. My mother had a different way of showing love, she did it through her cooking which kept us all together as a family. My mum and I travelled to the Gold Coast together for a week a few years back. We laughed a ton, went out to wineries, and bonded over our shared hobby of being shopaholics. I had been living in a cold country for 20 years and couldn’t get any nice tropical fruit. When I got back, my mum gifted me a passionfruit vine so I could grow my own. I planted it and this thing was mutant. It grew like a damn triffid. It went absolutely wild and it throws out hundreds of passionfruit all year round. And they’ve got to be the sweetest passionfruit I’ve ever had before. I’ve tried to gift people some of the seeds, but because the plant is mutant, it just can’t grow. So I have rare passionfruits that only I can eat or who I decide can eat them. It is a tropical power that no one else has. Every time I eat one of the passionfruit, I think of my mum and her great present. One of my favourite more recent memories with my mum is going to see a C-grade musical production of Legally Blonde in Wollongong with my Mum, my sister and my mum’s friends. It was everything we expected it to be. By the second act, we were boogying to Warner’s solo to Vivian. And yes, watching a group of 50+ year-olds dancing is exactly how you think it would be. Mum and I didn’t always see eye to eye when I was growing up. We’ve definitely gotten closer as I’ve gotten older and she has realised I am my own person with morals/values/opinions. I love this memory cause it’s us being adults, letting loose and just enjoying the moment. If you’d like to help celebrate Mother’s Day, consider writing your favourite memory with her in a card. But if mushy feelings aren’t how your family works, consider slipping in an Instant Scratch-Its gift pack.
