Wait, what are we talking about?
You're going to answer one question for me.
The question is
Is this like a hard question?
No.
What's going on?
A World Without Moms
Oh wow, what would a world look like without moms? Ok... ughhh!
Oh god...
That's an emotional question.
What would the world look like without moms? A disaster.
Bread would show up at school with crusts still on it,
and no one would have clean underwear.
It would be complete chaos.
There would be a lot of babies gone wild,
and aching for a bedtime story.
Lots of beers and high-fiving.
(laughter)
Not enough hugs.
There wouldn't be any babies actually.
Yeah, there wouldn't be. You're right.
I feel like mothers are the ones who tend to develop...
well... nourish and develop the child.
I guess the dads would have to be moms
and we'd have half as many wonderful people.
Well, my mom is my best friend and my role model and she's...
just inspired me to be a strong woman,
instilled in me the importance of education,
and wanted my future to be - in her mind - better than hers.
And I think that... that's actually been the source of a lot of my
feeling of empowerment to be able to do anything.
Watching my mom work her butt off everyday and come home
and still manage to find time to smile at us.
So she was really sick for maybe around 6 years?
And during those 6 years, I don't think she ever complained or
there's never been a time in my life where I haven't felt supported by her.
I've just learned so much from her.
I just value her and appreciate and look up to her so much.
It's just her and I
ummm... I couldn't imagine life without her.
Ummm... My mom died a week after I was born.
You know, I'm not exactly sure who she is or how she is
but I imagine that she was a very, very good person
so... like most of everything I do... I try to... you know...
live up to you... the legacy of the name. Try to do good.
Every year more than 7 million women are injured and 350,000 women die due to childbirth
This Mother's Day, let's show moms how much they mean to us
And help save moms around the world so that children won't have to grow up without moms
I love my mom. I don't know where I would be without my mom.
I love you mom because I wouldn't be here without you.
I love you mom because you have pushed me hard enough to reach my goals.
I love you mom for reasons T.N.T.C. (too numerous to count).
I love you mom because I can call you 5 times a day
and you're always happy to talk to me.
I love you mom because you've shown me what unconditional love is.
Because you're the most beautiful woman I know.
You have to say why you love me.
Because she's cute and nice.
Because you've been there for my entire life,
everyday... every step of the way. I love you!
I think the most pure form of love is...
is the love between a mother and her child.
And I think it's unconditional and it's honest
and it's real and it's generous
and it gives you power to keep going
when things don't look promising.
Moms, you mean the world to us
