What quotes can you recall from your younger days from your Mum?
"Don't forget to wash behind your ears"
"If you fall out of that tree and break your leg, don't run crying to me."

My sweet mother assured me that my darling brother was born in a cabbage. I loved knowing that.

My mother used to call me Tiglath-Pileser.
She got it from the bible and must have liked the sound of it.

If she saw someone picking their nose : Give me a wave, when you get to the bridge.

If I ever asked my mother where she was going as she out her coat on, she would reply,
“There and back to see how far it is’.

I don't remember that name from those Bible study days at Sunday School Tiglath-Pileser III ( 𒆪𒋾𒀀𒂍𒈗𒊏 - see if that comes out), and he's one of those who tried to do the Israelites a bit of no good.
He's mentioned in Kings and Chronicles, and having looked it up I might as well quote wiki:
I'm glad to have found all that though, so thanks.
I wonder if there are any films about him?

She obviously thought I was a young king.

Take your hands out of your pockets. If you play with that you'll go blind.
