Ten Mothers In History

1. 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?                                 
2. Paul Revere's Mother:   I don't care where you think you have to go, young man, midnight is past your curfew.                                
3. Mona Lisa's Mother:     After all that money your father and I spent on braces, that's the biggest smile you can give  us?                                   
4. George Washington's Mother:     The next time I catch you throwing money across the Potomac, you can kiss your allowance good-bye.                                          
5. 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.                                            
6. Columbus's Mother:  I don't care what you've discovered, you  still could have written.                                                   
7. 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.                                            
8. Thomas Edison's Mother:     Of course I'm proud  that you invented the electric light bulb. Now turn it off and get to bed.                                              
9. Abraham Lincoln's Mother:   Again with the stovepipe hat?  Can't you just wear a baseball cap like the other kids?

11. ......An extra laugh for posterity:     Jonah's Mother:     That's a nice story. Now tell me where you've really been for the last forty years.
