All Kinds of Mothers

 "See, Jimmy. I told you we both would lose face if you picked your nose in public. Now do you believe me?" |
 "Please don't cry, Jameel. Only girls are permitted to carry heavy burdens atop their heads in our country--and there is nothing you can do about it!" |
 "Mommy, those men aren't looking at us anymore. Can I stop pretending to be a wind-up toy?" |
 |
 "Try to hold it until I get my purse open, Billy!" |
 "No, children, I don't think it's fair when your daddy says you take after my side of the family!" |
 "Yes, Veronica, mommy waited until she was 18 before she started the silicone injections. I'm sure none of the girls in your class are getting them quite yet." |
 "I know you don't want to dress like a girl anymore, Arthur, but you'll look so adorable in the new fall line." |
 "I'm really glad you liked the flowers, Mommy, but I'm going to need another advance on my allowance to cover my losses in the market so far this fiscal year." |
 "Rock-a-bye baby in the treetop; maybe that'll make your testicles drop." |
 "I can't believe it! Monica's going to be the weather girl on Clinton's new talk show?" |
 "I love the Mother's Day dinner you fixed for me, Jill, but how would you like a little steak and potatoes for dessert?" |
 "Remember, Bobby, when you're old enough to vote: Mommies make better mayors, senators and presidents." |
 "Keep smiling while the nice man takes our picture, Fifi, and I'll change your diaper as soon as the coast is clear!" |
 "Daddy sent you to find out what Mommy wants for Mother's Day? Well, go tell him Mommy likes Gucci, Cartier and large negotiable bonds." |
