Love this:
Paul Revere's Mother
I don't care where you think you have to go, young man. Midnight is past your curfew!

Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary's Mother
I don't mind you having a garden, Mary, but does it have to be growing under your bed?

Mona Lisa's Mother
After all that money your father and I spent on braces, Mona, that's the biggest smile you can give us?

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!

Columbus's Mother
I don't care what you've discovered, Christopher. You still could have written!

Babe Ruth's Mother
Babe, how many times have I told you -- quit playing ball in the house! That's the third broken window this week!

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?

Napoleon's Mother
All right, Napoleon. If you aren't hiding your report card inside your jacket, then take your hand out of there and prove it!

Custer's Mother
Now, George, remember what I told you -- don't go biting off more than you can chew!

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.

Mary's Mother
I'm not upset that your lamb followed you to school, Mary, but I would like to know how he got a better grade than you.

Batman's Mother
It's a nice car, Bruce, but do you realize how much the insurance is going to be?

Goldilock'sMother
I've got a bill here for a busted 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 allowance good-bye!

Jonah's Mother
That's a nice story, but now tell me where you've really been for the last three days.

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!

Forgot to add this:

You got any funny responses to famous mothers?

When my mom taught in a one room school house, she gave a history test that was simple but open ended:

Tell all you know about George Washington and Lafayette:

Answer from a student:

George Washington he fit the Indians; Lafayette he fit 'em too.

Hey, Miller. No one would deny that. Odd that you should have a moniker like "Miller". My mother's father was a miller, and died at age 39 from typhoid fever. My mother contracted it also, but survived with no ill effects.

Have you any famous answers to Mothers in history?

Hmmm, Miller. What about the biblical Eve? What did she say to Adam?
