Summary: Ten things Martha might have said to young Clark.

I was thinking about “Mommisms” – those things that it seems as though every mother says. Things like, “If everyone else jumped off a cliff, would you do so, too?” Or, “I’m cold.

10) You don’t need to eat your spinach or drink your milk. You have already grown quite big and strong enough as it is.

7) This will hurt me a lot more than it hurts you.

6) Clark Jerome Kent, I’m going to give you until the count of one ...

5) When it comes to sports, never give it your all!

4) Don’t you DARE look through me like that, young man!

3) What? You can lift cars, but you can’t pick your jacket up off the floor and put it on a hanger?!?

2) You have to get up now. The school bus will be here in half a minute, and you still need to get changed and eat breakfast.

1) Just for that, young man, you are grounded. No flying for a month!
