On that day, children send Mother’s day cards to their mothers. They give their mothers flowers or sweets as presents. Fathers and children do the cooking so that mothers can have a rest. In the USA, Mother’s Day started in 1860s. There was a small town called Prunty town in the middle of the USA. People in the town fought against each other during a war. After the war, they hated each other. Mrs. Ann Reeves Janis wanted the people to make friends with each other again. So they started “Mother’s Friendship Day”. On that day, she visited the other Mothers in the town and said, “Let us be friends with each other again”. Her ideas succeeded. The same things happened in other parts of the country.
