The relationship between a mother and son is a central theme in many Telugu Boothu Kathalu. These stories highlight the unconditional love, care, and sacrifices that a mother makes for her son. In return, the son's love, respect, and gratitude towards his mother are also showcased. These tales not only strengthen the bond between mothers and sons but also provide valuable life lessons and cultural values.

However, I need to clarify a few things:
తెలుగు సాహిత్యంలో బూతు కథల ప్రస్తావన ఎప్పటి నుంచో ఉంది. ఈ బూతు కథలు ఎక్కువగా మౌఖిక రూపంలోనే వినిపించబడుతూ ఉండేవి. అయితే, కొన్ని సంవత్సరాల క్రితం నుంచి ఈ బూతు కథలు తెలుగు వెబ్సైట్లు, బ్లాగులలో కూడా ప్రచురించడం మొదలయ్యాయి.
తల్లి కొడుకుని కాపాడిన కథ (Story of Mother Saving Her Son) ఒక తల్లి తన కొడుకుని ఒక భయంకరమైన ప్రమాదం నుండి కాపాడింది.
