Hi Dr. Laura, 

I am 17 years old and am in my senior year of high school. In the past two years my mother and I have gotten increasingly close, which I am so thankful for. We are both avid listeners and you have taught me some valuable lessons - and given my mother some really great advice too. 

These past few months, I have become increasingly irritable towards my mother, and I feel terrible about it. It's not that she necessarily does something specific, but I just get so frustrated when she doesn't "understand me", when half of the time she does. I am reaching out to you because she listens to your podcasts daily. I was wondering if on one of your little side commentary things that you do, could you maybe say something that would let her know she is the best mom in the world, and that I love her, and everything she does for me.  For example, "Darla, your daughter wanted me to say, she loves you and you're the best mother she could ever have." I know that this is a very strange request, but I need to do something very meaningful to my mother for she does way more for me than I could ever imagine. 

Thank you so much for your time!
