Mother's Day 2016: Top 10 Humurous Quotes to Pen on Card or to Share with Mom

The tradition of celebrating Mother's Day can be traced back to ancient Rome, when people would honor Cybele, the mother of the gods, with offerings, parades, and masquerades. In the modern world, Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May and was made a national holiday in 1914 by then-President Woodrow Wilson.

While Mother's Day isn't a federal holiday, it is nonetheless a special time when moms get to put their feet up, get pampered, and are treated to something special by their family. This is the one day a year when moms are honored for their noble, life-long roles as homemakers, guardians, child bearers, and all-around, 24/7 support systems for their families.

This Mother's Day, give the moms in your life something to smile/laugh about with these ten funny quotes that reflect the reality of every mom's crazy and exhausting - but ultimately rewarding - experience.
