We have so much to thank our mothers for. They're the ones, after all, who taught us how to be independent, kind and wise, and they've shown us everything from how to curl our lashes to how to fend for ourselves in the real world. In honor of Mother's Day this weekend, here are some of the best pieces of motherly advice we've ever received, as told by our favorite TV mom, Lorelai from Gilmore Girls.
