In mere days you’ll be showering your mom in presents and love and flowers and breakfast in bed (unless you are a horrible child… or have a horrible mom), and to help perpetuate your anxiety about the Perfect Mother’s Day Gift, we’ve assembled a list of the best mom-and-musician photographs to make you say “aw, that’ll be me and my mom when I’m big and famous.” Because moms are the best. Hey, mom!
10. Justin Timberlake
Here’s to none of our Mother’s Day gifts comparing to Justin Timberlake taking his Mom to the Oscars. Thanks a lot, man.
9. Willow and Jaden Smith
Representing two generations of hair-whipping.
8. Elton John
Those boots, Mrs. John. Those. Boots.
7. Eric Clapton
You want to have tea with Eric’s grandmother. You just do.
6. Drake
Beaten only by Lucille Bluth and Buster at this year’s Motherboy.
5. Taylor Swift
Like puppies and kittens and mini food items, T-Swift and her mom always belong on lists about cute things.
4. Justin Bieber
So Ms. Bieber’s all, “I LOVE YOU, SON!” and J-Biebs is all Simba in The Lion King when he doesn’t want his bath.
3. John Lennon
You’re not allowed to make any smart-ass comments about this photo because it just isn’t fair.
2. Sean Lennon
Well, might as well be consistent.
1. Frank Zappa
Time to get happy again! Everyone look at Frank Zappa and his glorious hair. Great job, mom.
