MOTHERS FROM HISTORY
COLUMBUS' MOTHER: "I don't care what you've discovered, you
still could have written!"
MICHELANGELO'S MOTHER: "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?"
NAPOLEON'S MOTHER: "All right, if you aren't hiding your report
card inside your jacket, take your hand out of there and show
me."
ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S MOTHER: "Again with the stovepipe hat? Can't
you just wear a baseball cap like the other kids?"
MARY'S MOTHER: "I'm not upset that your lamb followed you to
school, but I would like to know how he got a better grade than
you."
ALBERT EINSTEIN'S MOTHER: "But it's your senior picture. Can't
you do something about your hair? OY! Styling gel, mousse,
something...?"
GEORGE WASHINGTON'S MOTHER: "The next time I catch you throwing
money across the Potomac, you can kiss your allowance good-bye!"
THOMAS EDISON'S MOTHER: "Of course I'm proud that you invented
the electric light bulb. Now turn it off and get to bed!"

to go, young man, midnight is past your curfew."
