She's the Lorelai to your Rory. She probably knows you better than you know yourself. She's there with unconditional love for you. She's not just your mom, because she also doubles as your best friend.
1. You know what each other is thinking
Probably without ever having to open your mouth. You have some strange mother-daughter telepathy that works wonders. Dad probably gets jealous or weirded out.
2. You have the same thoughts on different family members
The both of you agree on what family members to hate, which ones to love, and which ones are just flat out weirdoes.
3. You call her when anything happens in your life
You think you just failed a test. Call mom. A biker almost hit you while you were walking to class. Call mom. You ate the most amazing muffin today. Call mom. Big things and little things, it doesn’t matter, your mom is your first call. She’s basically on speed dial…if that’s still a thing.
4. She’s your go-to shopping buddy
And not just because you think there’s a high chance she’ll buy you things. But her opinions, though brutally honest at points, really do help.
5. She gives you the best advice
It’s advice that you actually take…or at least deeply consider taking. She’s realistic and knows exactly what to say no matter the situation.
6. You can tell her anything without ever feeling judged
You want to share some super gross information with her, she won't judge. Or maybe a really embarrassing thing happened to you, she won't judge. She'll probably share something in return because that's just how great your relationship is.
7. She’s your #1 fan
In sports and in life. She's at every single one of your games, competitions or events, whether she wants to be or not because she knows it's important to you. She's your biggest supporter in everything. It's like having a personal cheerleader.
8. She'll always defend you
She's got your back no matter what. You're her baby and her motherly instincts will surely kick in if something ever happens to you. Thanks for always fighting off the bad guys, mom.
9. You share shoes...and maybe clothes
If you wear the same size, congrats, because you have an even bigger wardrobe now. Another perk is that it might be easier to convince her to buy you something if you say you'll share it. There are just so many perks to being the same size as your mom.
10. She just accepts your sass
Remember, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Your mom is most likely the source of where you got your sass from, so you better expect some sass in return.
11. She knows how to get you do something
She needs you to do her a favor and she knows just how to get you to agree. It’s like a mom's version of brainwashing, but it's better because you’ll probably get something good out of it as well.
12. You begin to realize you are basically a mini-version of her
If your mom is basically your other half, of course you are going to be just like her. Go ahead and scream, but is that really such a bad thing?
Thank you, mom, for being my main supporter in life. Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for being such a great role model and mom all these years. Most importantly, thank you for doubling as my best friend.
