Maybe you have a tech-savvy mom. Perhaps she embraces new devices with zest and collects social media handles enthusiastically. She's the first one to like your photos, and she posts more than you do. Or, maybe this doesn't sound familiar. Maybe your mom has been more cautious to dip her toe into the Instagram pool. She'll occasionally look over your shoulder as you scroll through your own feed, but she has no interest in getting one for herself. Whatever works! Either way, you might feel compelled to post something in her honor for Mother's Day — and if you prefer to stay away from sentimentality, you might find a good alternative in one of these mom puns to use as Instagram captions on Mother's Day.
Personally, I tend to lean toward sappier posts for occasions like Mother's Day, but these wordplays have me wondering if a more lighthearted route could be the way to go for Mom on May 8 this year. Save those emotional memories for a handwritten card (because Mom will really appreciate that) and give your followers a reason to laugh this year with a throwback picture of you and your mother and a punny caption. OK, so they might be laughing at you and not with you — we are talking about puns here — but who cares? It's all for Mom.
