Monday is Mother's Day, a day to celebrate the special bond between a mother and her children. But every Mother's Day, there are certain things an Arab mom always says, whether about to gifts or the occasion in general. Here are some of the most common things she says ...

1. Your success is the only gift I need

Are you sure?

2. I don't want gifts, I just want you around me

Oh, let me just return the jewelry I got you then ...

3. I love all your presents equally

They love the gift you paid a fortune for as much as the poem your 6-year-old brother wrote, which is cute, but come on!

4. They had to make a day for you to appreciate me

But, I am. I don't see where the problem is??

5. Every day is Mother's Day

If that's so I would be very, very broke.
