The perfect family you've always wanted to be part of is forming as we speak. Remember how Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence are writing a screenplay together about being sisters? Well, Amy and JLaw's mother has just stepped up: Bette Midler. Yes, movie gods, please make it so!
We know this is perfect and so does Bette Midler. She volunteered via Twitter.

Amy Schumer & Jennifer Lawrence are co-writing a screenplay about sisters. Hmm, who could play their mother? She'd have to be DIVINE!

By the way, when Midler says "she'd have to be DIVINE," she's not referring to the transvestite actor famous for appearing in John Waters films. Sadly, that actor died in 1988. (But that casting would have been another kind of awesome.)

Don't leave her hanging. It's for the girls! She's a legendary funny woman. Who else could be more perfect? (Don't say Meryl. Don't say Meryl.)
