Kid President Sends Heartfelt Mother's Day Salute to Moms

Kid President, the youthful powerhouse in a power suit who knows how to give one heck of a motivational pep talk, has taken his inspirational talents to Mother's Day.

The video message, sent "on behalf of all the kids in the world," shows Kid President, whose given name is Robbie Novak, spelling out the ten things moms need to know in his typical, exuberant fashion.

Don't worry so much about cleaning, he exhorts mom. "Our house isn't messy, it's awesome. It's awesome because we live in it." And the kid gets incisive when he says, poignantly, "It's just hard to grow up. Sometimes we just need moms ... to tell us everything is OK."

"Thanks for believing in us, putting up with us, and straight-up loving us," he says, with his usual authority and panache.

Though you may not be as gifted in the oratorical arts as the precocious kid in the video above, don't forget to send up some gratitude to the mother in your life in whatever way you can.

The point is, we love you, moms. You're beautiful. And remember, mom upside down is "wow."
