Mothers Throughout History....What They Might Have Said

MONA LISA'S MOTHER:
After all the money your father and I spent on braces, that's the biggest smile you can give us?

COLUMBUS' MOTHER:
I don't care what you've discovered, you still could have written!

MICHAELANGELO'S MOTHER:
Can't you paint on walls like other children? Do you have any idea how hard it is to get that junk off the ceiling?

NAPOLEON'S MOTHER:
All right, if you aren't hiding your report card inside your jacket, take your hand out and show me.

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!

PAUL REVERE'S MOTHER:
I don't care where you think you have to go, young man; midnight is past your curfew.

MOSES' MOTHER:
That's a nice story. Now tell me where you've really been for the last forty years.

ALBERT EINSTEIN'S MOTHER:
Can't you do something about your hair?

I did not write this; it came to me in email.

Those are hilarious. They brightened my day.

It makes the whole email thing worthwhile when you get gems like those.

I can relate to the Einstein one. My son's hair gets cut only when his dad and I can't take the sight of it any longer. If he had his way, it would grow forever.
I guess we moms are experts at griping at our kids.

Judy's Mother: "Are you going to be a flower girl all your life? Isn't it high time you got to be bridesmaid?"

Thanks Judy, for an earlier morning smile...caught these just as I was leaving the house for my exercise class and plan to share the ones I can remember with friends before class starts.

I guess mothers are pretty much the same.

Oh I do love this being the mother that I am, it resonates, it resonates.

I wish I got clever emails like this one instead of the same stupid ones over and over again! My favorite is the Mona Lisa one though, having spent years in braces ;)

It also demonstrates nicely why we shouldn't listen to our moms!! LOL

George W. Bush's mother said...
Oh, I guess we've all heard her stupid comments.

Neil Armstrong's mother: Yes, of course you walked on the moon sweetie, but you can't send your own mother flowers on her birthday?

WordWhiz said...

Oh, these are priceless! Particularly since I'm a mother!!

This was my first true laugh of the day! :) I totally love the Columbus' mom comment and also the one on Moses' mom. Hilarious!
