Mother’s Day is coming up on Sunday, March 6, and so it is time to start the exhausting search for the perfect card for your mummy dearest.
There are so many to choose from and most are so cutesy and sappy.
But, unless you have a very cool mother with a great sense of humour, perhaps these are a little too dark.
Here’s 10 of the worst but funniest Mother’s Day cards we’ve seen.
1. I’m sorry my large head ruined your lady garden, £3, Etsy
Kids might look all innocent but give them a packet of crayons and free rein to draw outside the lines and they might surprise you.
And not in a good way.
We doubt anyone’s putting these deeply disturbing doodles on the fridge, but they have helpfully shared them online, so we can all have a glimpse into their terrifying young minds*.
Hold us.
We guess Hannah’s more of a tea drinker.
It’s probably just a stage.
The artwork for Stephen King’s new book ‘The Talking Boy’.

We’d happily eat tacos for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if it was socially acceptable.
Their comforting tortilla cover. The spiced excitement of their filling. That peppery twist of salsa.
And you know what? There’s no reason that joy shouldn’t extend to desserts.
Youtubers The Fung Bros started their very own pop-up in New York to sell what may be the most magical food crossover known to man.
Presenting the waffle taco. It’s a waffle folded in half to make a taco, and filled with all kinds of sweet deliciousness.
Looks like Leo won’t be the only one crying on February 28.
Except unlike the bitterly disappointed nominated actor, your tears could be tears of joy. Because if you happen to share the same first name as one of the British best actor nominees, you could get a FREE pizza on Oscars night.
Pizza Hut Restaurants will give away a free pizza (any topping you like, up to the value of £15) to anyone with the same first name as Christian Bale, Eddie Redmayne, Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Charlotte Rampling, or Kate Winslet – as long as they also manage to get down to… Read the full story
The People That Look Like Paolo Facebook page is one man’s homage to his mate, Londoner Paolo Riozzi, who gets mistaken for someone else on a frighteningly regular basis.
‘Our friend Paolo is a great guy. Loyal, humble and generally just a laugh to be around. He is a fierce mate and there’s no one else quite like him,’ friend Shaneil Patel explains.
‘However, there is the small issue that he has an unhealthy amount of doppelgängers, who all look incredibly similar to him. As a close knit crew of mates it became common occurrence for us to mistake… Read the full story
In the world of Kanye West, Yeezy Boosts, and the existence of Donda West video game, nothing makes sense anymore.
So we really shouldn’t be surprised that someone has taken it upon himself to deep fry a pair of Yeezy Boosts.
The world is upside down. Everything is confusing. This seems about right.
Youtuber Branden Wiebe, AKA NameBranClothing, took a break from his regularly scheduled fashion-themed videos to make a foray into cooking. He shared a handy tutorial on how to take your fancy Yeezy Boosts (his were a gift from Kanye’s reps, apparently), cover them in batter, and display them for all to admire.
If there’s one thing you can rely on to make all your problems drift away it’s a steaming hot bath.
It has the power to make the drama of the day seem inconsequential – the fact you’ve just lost your job and your boyfriend feels like a blip on the landscape of life.
Whereas shower people spend their time struggling to understand why someone would want to ‘soak in their own dirt’, bath people know that all it takes to set the world right is a gin & tonic, a splash of Radox and half an hour to yourself.
For those who don’t understand the lure of the tub,… Read the full story
London Fashion Week is at an end for another season. It’s time to hang up your mules, shrug off your faux-fur and let down the boxer braids.
That’ll do Alexa, that’ll do.
The fashion circus will now pack up and roll onwards to Milan, while we’re left to make sense of five days of non-stop colour, statement coats and 70s disco (yes the 70s are here to stay).
If it all passed you by in a blur, here are the best bits.

In this day and age, there’s an app for everything.
Food, fashion, dating … and now mental health and relationship advice, too.
Relationup is an app created specifically to help assist with urgent relationship issues while also offering users further private conversations with mental health professionals.
The app assesses a user’s pressing relationship, sex or dating issue and matches them with a professional mental health advisor using the ‘Relationship Match’ function.
The first app-based session is free, then each subsequent usage costs around $10 (£7.10) for a 15-minute text conversation with your allocated relationship counsellor.
It’s a lot more affordable – and convenient – than searching for… Read the full story
Trust the writer behind The World’s Best Boyfriend to come up with a proposal this sweet.
Durjoy Datta took to Twitter last night for a spot of live-tweeting. But we’re not talking live reactions to the latest episode of Scandal, or even tweets of the irritable ‘it has now been 47 minutes since I ordered pizza’ type.
Nope. Durjoy’s live-tweeting session had a much more romantic purpose: his proposal to his girlfriend of four years, Avantika Mohan.
He’d realised he never got to… Read the full story
Because deep down, we all miss our imaginary friends.
A new exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum of Childhood featured UK animators and model-makers teaming up with advertising agency AMV BBDO to take the kids’ imaginary friends and bring them into life-size, real existence.
And by ‘real’, we of course just mean ‘visible to adults’. Because ALL imaginary friends are entirely real.
More than 60 children attended a workshop last year, and were asked to describe their imaginary friends in detail. Animators… Read the full story
If you’re obsessed with taking the perfect selfie, then we have some great news for you.
Because soon, they’ll be worth more than a few likes on Instagram.
MasterCard have confirmed that it will soon be accepting selfies as an alternative to passwords ID verification is needed for onion payments.
And while a filter may not be hugely helpful in identifying your facial features, the idea certainly beats having to key in a long password.
The selfie-payment has currently been tested in the USA and the Netherlands, with Mastercard reporting 92 per cent of test subjects preferring the new systems to passwords.
Mastercard plans to test the selfie… Read the full story
Oh, youths. We love our drinkable yoghurt and handy blended juices with spirulina and shredded kale. We like our avocado on toast. Our tiny protein bites filled with grains and soya protein.
As a relaxed Sunday treat, we’ll dig into a perfectly poached egg on sourdough toast – Instagrammed first, of course.
And so, one breakfast option that is the very definition of not on fleek is cereal. So passé.
According to a new report from the New York Times, cereal is dying a slow, soggy death for one reason: millennials just don’t think of it as a solid breakfast option.
Why? Because it’s too much damn… Read the full story
Being handed a Polycystic Ovary Syndrome diagnosis can be a confusing time.
You’re not sure what it means as research on the matter is hard to come by.
You’re worried about your fertility and all in all you want to have a little scream at the world for putting this hair-spurting, hormone-messing, period-stopping obstacle in your way.
You confide in people and, to be fair, they don’t always know what to say.
In those instances, give them this list. The list of things it’s best to avoid saying to someone with PCOS.
