Ramblings of an amused mind!
Reflections of Mother's Day

Another Mother's Day has come and gone, but most of us would agree that Mom is probably the wisest person we know...and a little daily Motherly wisdom goes a long way. With apologies to actual history, here just might be a few examples:

Paul Revere's Mother: I don't care where you think you have to go, young man. Midnight is past your curfew!

Mona Lisa's Mother: After all that money your father and I spent on braces, Mona, that's the biggest smile you can give us?

Humpty Dumpty's Mother: Humpty, if I've told you once, I've told you a hundred times not to sit on that wall. But would you listen to me? Nooooooooooo!

Columbus' Mother: I don't care what you've discovered, Christopher. You still could have written your mother!

Michelangelo's Mother: Mike, why can't you paint on the walls like other children? Do you have any idea how hard it is to get that stuff off the ceiling?

Napoleon's Mother: All right, Nappy, if you're not hiding your report card inside your jacket, then take your hand out of there and prove it!

Custer's Mother: Now, George, remember what I've told you -- don't go biting off more than you can chew.

Abraham Lincoln's Mother: Again with the stovepipe hat, Abe? Can't you just wear a baseball cap like the other kids?

Little Miss Muffet's Mother: Well, all I've got to say is if you don't get off your tuffet and clean your room, there'll be a lot more spiders around here!

Albert Einstein's Mother: But, Al, it's your senior picture. Can't you do something about your hair? Styling gel? Mousse? Something??

George Washington's Mother: The next time I catch you throwing money across the Potomac you can kiss your allowance goodbye!

Batman's Mother: It's a nice car, Bruce, but do you realize how much the insurance is going to be?

Goldilock's Mother: I've got a bill here for a busted chair from the Bear family. You know anything about this, Goldie?

Thomas Edison's Mother: Of course I'm proud that you invented the electric light bulb, Tom. Now turn off the lights and get into bed!
