My mom taught me that I was the smartest most talented good looking bear in the world.
My Mother taught me that children should be heard but not seen.
So I hid in a cupboard and shouted a lot.
Years later I realised that I had misheard her.
(OOh! I've found a new sig line)
My mother taught me to look out for bears and boys who mothers taught them to think that they are the smartest, most talented, and good looking bears and boys.
Believe me you don't want that woman for a mother in law, said mom.
My mother taught me that if one of yuns is gonna have an ulcer, make sure it's him.

What? You mean, it's not true?
My mother taught me a can-do attitude
"I won't wait for your father to get home, I'll kill you now myself!"
My Mother taught me that (-i)2 can be simplified. (-i)2 = (-1*i)2 = (-1)2 * i2 = 1 * (-1) = -1.
She then lit her pipe, dusted the chalk off her jacket and went to play cricket.
