I love Mother's Day! It is a special day for my mum. Last year, I made her a nice card and took her to lunch. She smiled so big, and it made me happy to see her enjoy it.

I don't really think we need Mother's Day. Mums should feel special every day. My mum always did things for us. I try to show her love all the time, not just one day.

I don't know about Mother's Day. It seems nice, but it can be sad too. Some people don't have mums or can't see them. I think it can be hard for them.
