I am 62 years old. I with out a doubt have the Worlds Greatest Mom.

[@treypyle4565]

"That he was a duck?" Is the purest form of comedy and innocence. It is beautiful for every single part of it.

[@grumpyoldlady_rants]

That young man taking his mom to prom made me cry. There is a young man who has been raised right! “Each kid could have a perfect mom - for them” - how did that little girl gain so much wisdom at such a young age?

[@ANGELSLVME]

That was soooo beautiful!

[@ranaebarker1443]

I'm crying so hard.

[@heathermetz3974]

Beautifully said!

[@darrenheadrick3669]

Probably because she and her 2 brothers haven't been exposed to tje dumbing down of America media machine. Steve Hartman and his wife, I jope, keep them away from the idiocy of modern media that's been a major factor in our society.

[@Ann65.]

Such a empathetic little lady isn’t she! ❤❤❤

Give Steve Hartman his own show

[@bibsythecottonelf7147]

He has one. You’re watching it. CBS is the financial host of the show and provides the time slot.

[@0111DTheProphet]

[@zzzroxyzzz]

It's unreal, my foster son has anger issues too, I didn't send him back I got him into therapy and took the time to work on it with him, work with his teachers, work with everyone around him, so while I'm happy he has a forever home I'm irritated they gave up on him.

[@polisigh216]

All I love that prom story. That was beautiful. She raised a really compassionate kid. I want to adopt that kid that they kept giving back.

[@B1LL9465]

The duck story is absolutely amazing!

[@cajunpeach7710]

I loved all of the stories, but was amazed and awed by the insight of Steve's kids. OMG! He and his wife are raising 3 incredible young people.

[@kat64470]

Wow! That story about the momma in jungle was the best! That's so wonderful that she understood she had to get back to life as she knew it. We think so called civilized society is best and she knew better.

[@dicey8928]

THE BOY AND THE PROM ❤But all were winners 🏆

[@MPR2]

These stories are my favorites by Steve Hartman and his kids, I always cry happy tears, thank you CBS!

[@libbyworkman3459]

“When did you first find out?”…. ‘’That he was a duck?” The High Point of an excellent video. I loved watching her look at you breaking up. She knew you were not laughing AT her at all. That bright little girl instinctively knew that she had said something very clever to make you laugh so hard.

[@ladyt4062]

David’s story was so merciful and beautiful!! All the stories are loving!

[@gdhaney136]

I love this!! I especially love Mom and Prom. When I got married, I had no brides maids, just a maid of honor, my mom. When I look back on the pictures of the bridal party and family, there's no one in those pics that I still don't love with all my heart.

[@deniecedavis1121]

"How did you know...?" "That he was a duck?" 💀⚰️🥀

[@gardensofthegods]

I feel so old , I remember the very first one that Steve Hartman did all those years ago .

[@lisahinton9682]

Each of these stories was so heart-warming. The young man who took his mom to prom is such a kind soul and I love how the mom told her husband that their son just outdid him. Adorable! The duck story was the cutest thing I've ever seen, and made me cry, too. All the stories made me well up. And Steve, that's a mighty fine group of kiddos you've got! And your wife asking, "Why is it a man?" made me laugh out loud. (Is the statue supposed to be in the image of the Oscar awards, perhaps?) Loved this whole segment - thank you.

[@davidcause9942]

Thank You, Steve!!! It is truly so comforting to know you are always so close, and able to me smile. "A duck?" I appreciate your gift of communicating the positive so well, Sir.

[@lisaerickson6533]

What a wonderful break from all the darkness in our current world. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

I have seen most of these but they still brought a tear to my eyes. There probably isn’t a mom out there who hasn’t experienced moments of indecision, moments when you think you should have done this or that differently. My son has told me many times that he thinks he had great parents. I guess I have to go with his opinion since he’s the kid! At 44 years old.

[@Donna-qt1ot]

What a group of wonderful stories. Thank you for bringing the poignant memories of my Mom back to my heart. Happy Mother's day to all of the World's Greatest Mom's.

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

Only kids could come up with such a revelation!

My mom was the greatest Mom... because she taught me what common sense was and how to apply it...and for that I will be forever grateful...besides...she loved me ❤️

[@joevasquez6375]

All great stories as usual. I loved her look when Steve mentioned that Snowflake was going to college one day. That look was EPIC! I miss my mom, so enjoy yours while you have her.

[@pepperpascal1491]

Thank you, Steve.

[@wendyh3297]

Dear CBS: Aside from how deeply I admire and respect and have learned from Steve Hartman....if you look at his "numbers"...it justifies him having a show of his own, if he wants it. Since we all know its all about making money for networks...you are losing a fortune. An absolute fortune...and at a time when we need what he has to offer The Most. Pretty stupid if you ask me.

[@el7jake]

Ah, one of the people so desperate for attention that she posts a Donald Trump comment: one that makes no sense. And not everyone focuses on money, you know. Thank God for that. Have a nice Mother's Day.

[@darlahkelley9800]

Best Mom 👩 ❤️ for them. Happy ❤️ Mother's Day 2022.

[@jimebbert8352]

Kiley & the duck...most excellent! 🙂

[@KYLOWW]

Awesome stories as always 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@CJ-bu8mh]

Excellent as usual! My trophy story is similar. In the early 1970s the Toastmasters International Club I wanted to join had to vote to admit their first woman. Of course the "Speaker of the Day" trophy given out each week was a man at a lecturn. Once I was admitted, I went to several trophy shops until I found one that would make a woman at a lecturn! Used that for years. Eons later, when I was full on in my career, I visited the club again as as guest speaker. By then ... it was 50% women! Would never have advanced in my profession had I not learned many life skills at Toastmasters. I used to lecture to hundreds of medical technicians and doctors and used all of the speaking skills learned in my very supportive club.

[@profanepersonality]

Those kids at the end have critical thinking skills, as well as empathy. That is something to be proud of.

Steve Hartman seems such a loving and gentle man. A pleasure to know. He reminds me a little of Paul O’Grady, who was an English entertainer, comedian and noble animal lover. R.I.P. Paul. ❤❤❤And “Hi Steve”. ❤❤❤

The little girl and the duck🥰❤️

[@Boertje247]

I wish you would do a follow up on the little girl with Snowflake the duck. I’ve watched this many times, sent it to friends, and whenever something comes up (usually quite serious) and the lead-in question is, “When did you find out…?” the tension is broken because our “inside” joke response is always, “…that he was a duck?!” It cracks us up every time we watch! We’d love to see what’s happened 6+ years down the road. Thanks for such wonderful stories that go to the heart of the human experience.

First story: they need to work on Taylors issues even though they were caused by his parents and the parents that adopted and returned him. I can inagine what it must be like for a young neglected boy , neglected by 3 sets of parents trying to make sense of the world . As an adopted person myself ican understand why he would have anger issues . All he's known from adults was rejection

How to recognize a real man, If he is openly a mamas boy. Period.

[@annettejimenez4678]

That’s true. My husband is a mamas boy and that’s just one of the reasons I love him. How can you not love a man who loves and respects their mom?
