Every Mother’s Day, moms across the nation get to look forward to a relaxing breakfast in bed. But any seasoned mom knows what this really means — kids breaking eggs on the floor, spilling flour and potentially burning themselves, all in the name of honoring Mom.
With sweet little kiddos, it’s always the thought that counts. But we have to ask, is a Mother’s Day breakfast-mageddon really worth it?
The fruit salad that didn’t stand a chance
My favorite part of this “Disastrous Mother’s Day” video is when the little one eats the yogurt.
The first pancake
Pro tip: The first pancake is always a hot mess. Don’t give it to Mom!
This porridge is too hot
I think Goldilocks would have definitely shunned this burnt bowl of porridge.
Eggy coffee?
Dunking your doughnuts? Sure. Toast? Yeah! Fried egg? Um… no.
The aftermath
No one said breakfast in bed wasn’t going to get messy. Syrup and bed linens just don’t mix.
Eggs served cloudy side up
In his defense, mastering the perfect fried egg can be pretty hard!
When overnight is too long for your oats
Overnight oats seem like a dream, but somtimes it’s kind of a gamble.
Breakfast fit for a swamp creature
Nothing says “Happy Mother’s Day!” like an algal explosion in the kitchen. Pop-Tarts are sounding pretty good right about now.
When you just can’t master the basics
If Mom can pretend to like your mediocre finger paintings, I’m sure she’ll pretend to love this crispy brown mess.
These waffles are just awf– oh, you know
“I’m not mad,” Mom will say when she sees her waffles. “Just disappointed.”
Green eggs and waffles
If your mom read Dr. Seuss, maybe she won’t mind that these waffles are green and smell like One Fish Two Fish…
Rough around the edges
Just like an eldest child who isn’t quite living up to their potential, so does this toast disappoint.
Seal the deal
They might look like dead seals, but they’ll be flopping around in Mom’s tummy just like live ones.
Don’t count your breakfast before it hatches
Sometimes you put all your eggs in one basket. And the basket gets run over by a monster truck.
Playing it hot and cold
Part raw, part burnt beyond recognition, this bacon represents the tumultuous relationship between mother and teen.
For the mom who keeps it spicy
With this much pepper, it doesn’t take a lot of effort to be a hot mama.
The gift that keeps on giving
“Hey Mom, I made you breakfast! On an unrelated note, you might want to clean the kitchen before my friends come over.”
Think before you sprinkle
Mom always said to pay more attention to the details. Tightening the cap on the saltshaker would be a good start.
The best of both worlds
Behold, scrambled pancakes. Combining Mom’s two favorite breakfasts seemed like a good idea at the time…
