What is a mom pun?

A mom pun is a play on words that swaps an everyday word for a mom-flavoured one - turning 'moment' into 'mom-ent' or 'magnificent' into 'mom-nificent'. The best ones lean on the handful of sounds moms hand you for free: mom, mum, mama, momma, mother and mother-ly. Others skip the wordplay and just pile on the affection, like crowning her your 'number one mum' or signing off with 'love you a ton'. Slot one of those into a familiar phrase and you've got a pun sweet enough for any card.
