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? Noooo!"
MICHELANGELO'S MOTHER: "Mike, can't you paint on walls like
other children? Do you have any idea how hard it is to get that stuff off the ceiling?"
ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S MOTHER: "Again with the stovepipe hat,
Abe? Can't you just wear a baseball cap like the other kids?"
BARNEY'S MOTHER: "I realize strained plums are your favorite,
Barney, but you're starting to look a little purple."
GOLDILOCKS' MOTHER: "I've got a bill here for a
chair
from the Bear family. You know anything about this, Goldie?"
LITTLE MISS MUFFET'S MOTHER: "Well, all I've got to say is
if you don't get off your tuffet and start cleaning your room, there'll be a lot more spiders around here!"
ALBERT EINSTEIN'S MOTHER: "But, Albert, 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 allow- ance good-bye!"
SUPERMAN'S MOTHER: "Clark, your father and I have discussed
it, and we've decided you can have your own telephone line.
Now will you quit spending so much time in all those phone
booths?"
THOMAS EDISON'S MOTHER: "Of course I'm proud that you
invented the electric light bulb, Thomas. Now turn off that
light and get to bed!
