Who's the boss around your house?

My mom doesn't want to be the boss, but she has to because my dad's such a goofball.

Mom. You can tell by how she does room inspection. She sees the stuff under the bed.

Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.

Her casserole recipes. But we hate them.

Her teeth are perfect, but she bought them from the dentist.

Just her children.

What would it take to make your mother perfect?

You know, her hair. I'd dye it, maybe blue.

On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery.

A diet.

If you could change one thing about your mother, what would it be?

I'd make my mother smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.

She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
