For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

OK, Kids! Mother's Day is a couple of weeks away, which is plenty of time to prepare. While the flower pot you're covering with seeds and glitter in Mrs. Bipson's class is going to turn out great, face it: Mom knows that pot is Mrs. Bipson's vision for Mother's Day, not yours. So if you want to show your mother just how much you care, and make this the best Mother's Day ever, listen up.

The good news is that this Mother's Day isn't going to cost you one dime of your Wii game fund. The bad news? It will require a little thought and conscientiousness (look it up!).

What your mother really wants, for just one day, is proof that all of her hard work is actually paying off. You can think of it as a mothering report card, and you need to show her that she's getting straight A's. How do you do this? Easy! Whatever you would do on any other day, do the opposite. Here are some examples.

It is an hour after lunch. Instead of asking your mother what's for dinner, ask your father (don't forget the usual frown and groan when he tells you).

You need pencils, a protractor, solar cells and low-gluten rice for a school project due tomorrow. Instead of sending your mother to six different stores, make due with pens, a compass, a flashlight, and Arborio rice. If your mother taught you one thing, it's that every teacher can be distracted by a good risotto.

Instead of texting/emailing/IM-ing/ichat-ing with your friends, have a conversation (look it up!) with your mom.

This next one, I'll admit, might be the toughest thing that mothers try to teach their children, so follow closely. If you take something off, open something up, or otherwise move something from where it was...stay with me here...put it back. Right away. No, not after you finish that episode. Now.

This is all a little advanced for the preschoolers out there. My advice for the little ones? If you've been toying with the idea of giving up diapers once and for all, the moment is now.

Happy Mother's Day!
