What is the purpose of this Mother's Day episode?
We want you to BFFR about motherhood here, okay? The parents who say, oh, I don't have a favorite. You know it depends on the day.
They do a dance battle in the living room. Yeah. And someone wins that. And then they are also competing to see who will sleep next to you. It's really tough for these two kiddos.
Competition in the LaRue household, yes. Welcome to another episode of BFFR.

How do Sydney and Ali celebrate Mother's Day?
Amen. Amen. Puss, puss. Yesterday was a very important day because yesterday was Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day, Sidney, my boo-boos.
Thank you, boo-boos.
Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I have my mom, too. We all deserve a Bev T-shirt on. If you can. This is one of my favorite shirts, obviously. Make sure. Give it some love. That's me and my mom after New Zealand won our first ever World Cup game last. No, not last summer. In 2023. Wow. How do you like to celebrate Mother's Day alone?
Like every mother. By myself in a hotel room, nothing to do, just watching shows. I'm around them 24-7. I know. They sleep with me. They sleep with me. I don't want someone making me feel guilty because I don't. My peace is non-negotiable like the affirmation. Well, did you get that? No. Never got that. Unless we're on the road. Unless we're on the road.
My mom also did not get that, but I would give her coupons every Mother's Day and birthday and Christmas. I would make these beautiful coupons offering up Massage, breakfast in bed, dinner. And I would just pray that she would never cash in. And she never did. I think she still has the goofballs. She's going to cash in now. Oh, shoot. I shouldn't have said that. Ignore that, Beverly. Oops, oops. What do the kids, what do they do for you since you are not alone at a hotel room watching shows?
Well, it's not like they do anything. They'll make me, they'll for sure make me a card at school.
Yeah.
But Cassius loves to make me cards like all the time. Oh, he's always loved writing you notes. And writing me notes. I actually have some of his text messages. These are not Mother's Day. This is just...
This is any day because every day for Cassius is Mother's Day. This is the mama's boy of all mama's boys.
You're good.
I love you so much for making me laugh because you don't know how much I appreciate you and your love. I'm so sorry to make you work so hard almost every single day, but I hope this makes your day. I love just a just a Friday. OK. I love you because without you, my life wouldn't have been fun. But with you, my life is funner than any mom in history. So I'm sad because you work too hard. So I hope you will try to work less harder because one time I was working hard in soccer and I was so tired that I got a cramp for five minutes. And after the five minutes was over, I did not work harder, but I did score more than three goals. So that is why I made this big sentence. You're welcome to be in this beautiful world. God made me and you both amazing.
Wow. My boy. Well, to all the mothers out there, may you have this much love that Cassius shows Sydney every day. He does. And we are very grateful for all of you, especially Bev and Sandy. and Sydney.
