Mommy Dearest

Mother of:

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

MICHELANGELO:
"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:
"All right, if you aren't hiding your report card inside your jacket, you can just take your hand out of there and
show me."

ABRAHAM LINCOLN:
"Again! with the stovepipe hat? Can't you just wear a baseball cap like the other kids?"

MARY:
"I'm not upset that your lamb followed you to school, but I would like to know how the lamb got a better grade that you."

ALBERT EINSTEIN:
"But it's your senior picture. Can't you do something about your hair? OY! Styling gel, mousse, something...?"

GEORGE WASHINGTON:
"The next time I catch you throwing money across the Potomac, you can kiss your allowance good-bye!"

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

THOMAS EDISON:
"Of course I'm proud that you invented the electric light bulb. Now turn it off and get to bed!"
