<p>It&#8217;s no big deal that you forgot Mother&#8217;s Day. You&#8217;re just a horrible son or daughter with no appreciation for the tireless sacrifices of the woman that gave you life, that&#8217;s all.

<p>It&#8217;s no big deal that you forgot Mother&#8217;s Day. You&#8217;re just a horrible son or daughter with no appreciation for the tireless sacrifices of the woman that gave you life, that&#8217;s all. But fear not &#8212; there&#8217;s still a few more hours to save your soul, and nothing says &#8220;I love you&#8221; more than paying a little extra for overnight shipping.</p>
<h2>1. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Fire-7-Inch-Tablet-8GB/dp/B00TSUGXKE/bensbargaicenter">Fire Tablet</a></h2>

<p>You can&#8217;t put into words how much you love your mother, but if you had to put a monetary value on it, it&#8217;d be around 40 bucks.

<p>Remember when you thought your mom was the smartest person in the world? Well, she does, and she&#8217;ll do anything to get that power back. Amazon&#8217;s offering a mother&#8217;s day sale, with their <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle-6-Inch-4GB-eReader/dp/B00I15SB16/bensbargaicenter">Kindle E-reader</a> <strong>25% off</strong> at <strong>$59.99</strong>.

<p>Is it generalizing and a little sexist to say every mother loves to cook? Absolutely it is, but since they all do, without exception, it&#8217;s okay. Your master chef mother will appreciate how easy it is to sharpen her cooking knives with the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Koolife-Sharpener-Coarse-Extra-Fine-Sharpening/dp/B01C1C7A4S/bensbargaicenter">Koolife Knife Sharpener</a> &#8212; and <em>you</em> will appreciate how this originally $90 cooking tool is only <strong>$13.99</strong> at <strong>84% off</strong>. Your mother will never know how much you skimped&#8230; but your conscience will.</p>

<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" ></div><p>In honor of Mother&#8217;s Day this Sunday (quick, <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Business/minute-mothers-day-2013-gift-guide-10/story?id=19125251" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">get your mom something</a> if you haven&#8217;t already!), here are 10 of the coolest TV and movie moms who each remind us why mothers really are worth celebrating.</p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 1.17em;">1. Jill Taylor, Home Improvement</span></h3>
<p>Moms of boys deserve some sort of special award (and I&#8217;m not just saying that because I have one myself!). Jill not only had three rambunctious sons, but a crazy husband who was basically a fourth child to look after. Jill not only put up with all their crazy antics, but often got in on the fun and one-upped them all.</p>

<h3></h3>
<h3>2. Beatrix Kiddo AKA The Bride AKA Black Mamba AKA <em>Mommy, </em>Kill Bill Volumes 1 &amp; 2</h3>
<p>Beatrix Kiddo kills 93 people (including Bill) because they played a part in taking her daughter away from her. Proof that the scariest place really is in between a mother and her child!</p>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.net/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Screen-Shot-2013-05-08-at-10.00.09-PM.png"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-3146 aligncenter" alt="moms_thebride" src="https://bensbargains.net/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Screen-Shot-2013-05-08-at-10.00.09-PM.png" loading="lazy" width="588" height="273" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Screen-Shot-2013-05-08-at-10.00.09-PM.png 588w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Screen-Shot-2013-05-08-at-10.00.09-PM-300x139.png 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px" /></a></p>
<h3> 3. Mrs. Jumbo, Dumbo</h3>
<p>If you can make it through Dumbo without shedding at least one tear, you might be missing a heart. Dumbo&#8217;s mom loves him for who he his, big goofy ears and all. She reminds us that even when you&#8217;re feeling lame or down about yourself, you know there&#8217;s at least one person out there who thinks you&#8217;re literally the greatest person to ever exist: your mom.</p>

<h3>4. Mrs. Weir, Freaks and Geeks</h3>
<p>I remember getting so annoyed at my mom for forcing my brother and me to spend Friday nights participating in things like &#8220;family game night&#8221; as a teenager. But now, I really appreciate all those silly activities. Lindsay and Sam&#8217;s mom makes family dinners every night, and even insists on dressing up and handing out Halloween candy together every year. We&#8217;ll never know for certain since the show was <a href="https://blastedgoat.wordpress.com/freaks-and-geeks-the-best-cancelled-show-in-television-history/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sadly cancelled </a>after just one season, but I bet there&#8217;s a very well-adjusted and grown up Lindsay Weir out there somewhere, all thanks to her dorky mom.</p>

<h3>5. Sarah Connor, Terminator 2: Judgment Day</h3>
<p>All Sarah cares about is protecting her son (makes sense since if he dies all of humanity dies with him, but still). I think every mother has that instinct to protect their offspring from any sort of harm; it&#8217;s a shame we can&#8217;t all look this badass while doing it.</p>

<h3> 6. Maria Von Trapp, The Sound of Music</h3>
<p>Maria is the ultimate stepmom. She&#8217;s kind, she&#8217;s loving, and she sings. Basically Mary Poppins without the umbrella.</p>

<h3>7. Shmi Skywalker, Star Wars Episode I</h3>
<p>In the perfect display of sacrificial love, young Annakin&#8217;s mother sends him off with Qui-Gon to become a Jedi. While it obviously pains her to part with her only son, she ultimately wants a better life for him. Of course he <em>does</em> end up becoming one of the evil-est bad guys of all time, but she could never have predicted the outcome (and who knows, maybe it was all because he didn&#8217;t have his mom around to help straighten him out!)</p>

<h3>8. Clair Huxtable, The Cosby Show</h3>
<p>Clair Huxtable is, like, the perfect mom, period. She&#8217;s smart, witty, has the perfect balance of career and family, and has the one raised eyebrow &#8220;mom look&#8221; down to a science. Plus she&#8217;s a lawyer and never loses an argument. Hmm&#8230;there must be a reason she isn&#8217;t real!</p>

<h3>9. Etheline Tenenbaum, The Royal Tenenbaums</h3>
<p>Sure, the Tenenbaum&#8217;s were just a bit dysfunctional, but one thing Etheline did right was encourage her kids to go after the things they were passionate about, whether it be playwriting, international finance, tennis, their adopted sister (oh, wait&#8230;).</p>

<h3>10. Marge Simson, The Simpsons</h3>
<p>The &#8220;real&#8221; Marge, the mother of Simpsons creator Matt Groening, and the inspiration behind the huge-hearted, blue-haired TV mom we all know and love, just <a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/06/marge-groening-matt-groening-marge-simpson-inspiration_n_3226541.html?ir=TV" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">passed away</a> this week at the age of 94. She clearly did <em>something</em> right to have raised the man who gave the world the Simpsons.</p>
