30 People Share What Funny Things Their Moms Have Said In Response To Jimmy Fallon’s Challenge
“It’s Hashtag time!” yells the beloved host of the The Tonight Show and we all know what we gotta do. Bring our seats closer, open Twitter, and share a bite of our very own ensued hilarity in a form of a hashtag.
And just in time for Mom’s day, Jimmy Fallon put up an announcement: “Tweet out a funny or weird thing your mom has said and tag it with #MomQuotes,” on May 3.
The answers started flooding in like there was no tomorrow, because we know how crazy, boomer-like, adorable, and clueless in tech (but not in your dating life!) our moms can be. So let’s give them a big round of applause and get ready for the funniest tweets right below.
After you're done reading this one, be sure to check out our earlier Jimmy Fallon hashtags, #MyWeirdSuperstition, #WeddingFail, and #FitnessFail.

Whenever someone asks me that i wonder how they got on the cliff in the first place...
The chances are your mom is at the top of your speed-dial list, and you may be anywhere between 10 and 80 years of age. Because this bond that a child, no matter their age, and their mother shares is something truly special and should be viewed as a gift. And how could it not be when often, it’s mothers who are the emotional backbones of our families?
And deer perverts, and especially perverted deer! It's a cute way to say she wants you to be safe ^-^
But the appreciation most of us have for our moms surpasses the realization that if it weren’t for your mom, you wouldn’t be breathing right now. And it’s not just the time she knew (but didn’t tell you) that you ran away for a night in town with your boyfriend in high school when she noticed your sneakers at the door were soaking wet. You didn’t realize, but she knew it—it was raining that whole night.
And nothing speaks more subtly of the goofy and fun side of our moms than the tweets people shared for Jimmy Fallon’s #MomQuotes challenge. So we reached out to one Twitter user, Reva Rice, who shared a funny moment: “'These are my daughters and they are single' This is how my mom introduced my sister and I at a FAMILY REUNION!” and added the hashtag #MomQuotes.
Reva Rice told us that she was very close to her mom, who sadly passed away 18 years ago. “My mom was always trying to marry off my sister and I. I can’t even count the number of times she told me, 'By the time I was your age, I was married already,'” she recounted.
It all changed one day as “At the age of almost 26, I met and married my husband within 8 months. She left me alone at that point.“I had always considered myself a Mama’s girl, especially after having children,” Reva said and confessed that she doesn’t think she “completely appreciated her until then. She died from stomach cancer about two years after I became a mom. Mother’s Day is still difficult.”
She tweeted the story because “it was funny and one of the most embarrassing things my mom ever did to me and I was hoping Jimmy Fallon might say my name.”
Its mom-instincts. There was a guy driving with his kid with his head totally out of the window the other day in the opposite direction of me and before I knew what I was doing I was yelling at him to put his head back in the car! So I get that it just pops out.
I love this! My mother-in-law says this sort of stuff all the time too.
I am sure I will be like this some day, probably sooner than I think. Back in my day etc etc XD
My grandmother did the same with her osteoporosis pill Boniva. She used to call it her "Sally Fields pill" cause she did the commercials! Lol!
I took my 82 year old Grandmother to a grocery store and a guy in a huge jacked-up Hummer parked next to us. (Well, in two spots, right down the line). My grandmother stood there and waited for him to get out and, bless her southern belle heart, said "I like your car. So sad about your penis." and toddled off to Aldi.
Clothing store, age 14-15, trying on jeans (during the super low rider jeans stage 🤦♀️) asked my what she thought as I was struggling to find something with more than a 1cm zip! Well, meaning to say she could see my 'muffin top', ie my hip fat etc, she said, right there in the store, "Your m**f is showing". It took her a moment to twig to what it sounded like but I was mortified! She made it sound like I was some kind of flasher 😂
My mom: "Oh look, a pe*is compensation unit!" every time she saw a sports car, and I still call them "PCUs". Side note: I just raelized my dad owned a Mustang convertible when they married. Oh gad. Things I did not want to think about...
My Dad had a corvette convertible when he married my mom. They used it to go from the church to the reception and, with the top down, were cleaning rice from the car the next day. It rained later that day and the inside of the car got doused with water. A week later, little plants started growing in the carpet. Apparently not all of the rice grains had made it out of the car.
