YOUR FAVORITE MTV SHOWS ARE ON PARAMOUNT+

13 Times You Wished Lorelai Gilmore Was Your Mom

MOM.

There are countless reasons to love "Gilmore Girls," but let's be real, at the top of that list is Lorelai Gilmore.

In part, we were all raised by television's most beloved fictional mom. Lorelai was smart, witty and had an endearing tendency to babble. Most importantly, she always knew what to say -- even if it wasn't what Rory wanted to hear. Sometimes, all you need in life is pizza, junk food and "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory," and we know this because of Lorelai.

In honor of the "Gilmore Girls" reunion (gasp) happening at the 2015 ATX Television Festival this Saturday (June 6), we've rounded up all of the times we wished Lorelai was our mom. (Sorry to all of the real moms out there.)

When she ordered Rory to eat junk food and pizza for dinner.

Oh, and then there was that one time I felt personally shaded by Lorelai. I eventually got over it because you can't hold a grudge against mom, fictional or otherwise.
