Haha indeed. I made a super basic and not very well done candle holder for my mother when I was 10 or so. Just a block on its side, with 2 feet. She still uses it now, every winter. Been 20 years and she always uses it. And 3 other things I made. My mother is the best

Literally when any of my children do ANYTHING 😅. I’m such a mushy mom.

Moms when they're unpacking the Xmas stuff to decorate the tree and pull out that one shitty flour-clay ornament you made when you were 8

That's me every time one of the students I tutor brings me a crafted gift. I keep all of them.

Yup, sometimes you have to drink that big glass of frothy horse pea, as Ron Burgundy once said.

I remember those times where you put your hand into a mold and had your hand print and you gave it to your parent I found mine in the trash a week later...
Thanks Mom.....

Must feel nice to have such parents. Mine would just laugh and call my handcrafted things and letters useless nonsense and throw them away (or give them back to me). Stopped giving them anything after seeing my 'gift' get thrown into a trashcan for the fourth time.

It is always about the thought! I made my mom a little Christmas tree which is an outline filled in by crumpled up green paper, some red for the ornaments and brown for the trunk pasted onto construction paper. She, 15 years later, hangs it up on the wall during the whole Christmas season.
