Onnelliset äidit Päivä (Happy Mothers Day)

I have a Mothers Day story
Last weekend I bought a Mothers Day card to send home to my mom. There was no one around the store to translate, so I just picked a cute one. When we were eating, I was writing in the card and I ask a woman to tell me what it said so I could write the translation. Turns out the card says "Flowers for Grandma". I know the word for grandma, but in Finnish they add their prepositions onto the end of other words, in this case 'for' was added onto 'grandma' so the word looked totally different to me.
