2. Good Conversation Questions for Mother’s Day
What would the mothers in your life really like for Mother’s Day? Dinner at the finest restaurant? Diamonds? A new car? Bring them on! But most of all, these women want to feel that you love and care about them. They love your attention, even if they pretend not to. Encourage them to tell their stories, not just today, but often.
Here are some questions that will help you connect with almost anyone on Mother’s Day. Some of these are in my ebook of conversation topics for couples: Do You Squeeze the Toothpaste in the Middle? Playful Questions for Dates & Mates.
- Tell me how you earned money when you were a kid.
- What have you done that was totally out of character?
- How did your kids get their names? (If the woman you’re honoring today doesn’t have human kids, ask about her pets’ names.)
- Did you get a compliment you could feast on for days?
- Tell me how you learned to drive.
- What would you like to accomplish this coming year?
- What are some of your favorite memories of each of your children or grandchildren?
Let me know how your conversations go. Please leave your stories and feedback in the comment section below.

It’s GOB-smack’d, British slang meaning “utterly astonished.”
British singing sensation Susan Boyle says she is “gobsmacked, absolutely gobsmacked” after her appearance on Britain’s Got Talent show.
