WITH YOUR MOM: Try a paint-and-sip class.

You'll find studios all over the country that invite you to drink vino while learning how to paint. (The wine not only makes it more fun, but it'll loosen up your Picasso skills.) When you're done, you can compare your creations and see whose painting matches the instructor's the most.

WITH YOUR MOM: Team up on karaoke night.

WITH YOUR DAUGHTER: Dress up in tutus (or whatever she wants!) and go out.

Your daughter gets a day to pick out her outfit (and, if you're so inclined, yours too) without Mom telling her to go change. Tiaras, patterned tights, a thousand necklaces — anything goes! Then, go out for the day with confidence and a silly attitude.
