In preparation for\u00a0Mother\u2019s Day, we teamed up with our friends at Mental_Floss <\/a>to collect your most wow-worthy #Momisms<\/a>, from the hilarious and sometimes embarrassing \u201cI can\u2019t believe she just said that\u201d mom texts<\/a>, to the heartwarming times when mom really did know best.<\/p>\n

We expected to find zany witticisms and sage advice from moms and grandmas, but we had no idea we\u2019d get so many great entries\u2013making it pretty hard to pick just two winners.<\/p>\n

We\u00a0had a great time giggling over the witty, sassy, creative, and insightful ideas that moms and grandmas can conjure up. We couldn\u2019t stand the thought of not sharing the joy from this contest, so before we get our #Momisms winners, we\u2019ve rounded up our favorite quips and quotes for you to enjoy!<\/p>\n

\u2026and, of course, wise advice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My mother would say, \u201cyou will have to get glad in the same pants you got sad in.\u201d Meaning, you were just going to have to get over the decision that she has made and that was all there was to it.\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Melissa Wattigney\u00a0(via The Goods, UncommonGoods’ blog)<\/em><\/p>\n

My mom said: \u201cWalk tall, think tall\u201d. . .I always knew the first part was about standing up straight, but it took me a long time to figure out the second part was about keeping high ideals! Love you, Mom, wish I could hug you today!\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Ellen Hughes\u00a0(via The Goods, UncommonGoods’ blog)<\/em><\/p>\n

My mom likes to say \u201cBe good, and if you can\u2019t be good then be careful!\u201d\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Michelle Carson\u00a0(via The Goods, UncommonGoods’ blog)<\/em><\/p>\n

My grandma always said, I used to worry that I had no shoes until I met the man that had no feet. It always put things in perspective!!\u00a0#momisms\u00a0#grandmaisms \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Sara Fleming\u00a0\u00a0(via Facebook)<\/em><\/p>\n

Mom always said that \u201c\u2026with each childhood birthday, you get a new kid.\u201d Meaning each year comes with changes. After having my own children I see this is very true.\u00a0\u2013 <\/strong>Tracy Ralls (via The Goods, UncommonGoods’ blog)<\/em><\/p>\n

#Momisms Don’t be afraid to spend $ on your hair. You wear your hair every day. You’d spend $35 on a sweater you may only wear a few times.\u00a0\u200f\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>@JulieVDot2 (via Twitter)<\/em><\/p>\n

My mom has a new one every week. Yesterday’s was “Babies are funny. They never want to wear a hat but place everything on their head.”\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>@kaos7d (Via Instagram)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
