Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day brings back memories of maternal advice and admonition. Picture the scene with these famous offspring:
Alexander the Great’s mother - “How many times do I have to tell you - you can’t have everything you want in this world!”
Franz Schubert’s mother - “Take my advice son. Never start anything you can’t finish”.
Achilles’ mother - “Stop imagining things. There’s nothing wrong with your heel”.
Sigmund Freud’s mother - “Stop pestering me! I’ve told you a hundred times the stork brought you!”
