Just thought of some from old work colleagues.

Maureen - when her son was about 15/16 he would still kiss mum goodbye and say he loved her when he left the house. One day his friends were waiting outside for him so he just grunted on the way past to look cool. Mum got her own back by waiting until he had joined his friends, calling out to him so that she had everyone's attention, and yelling in the way you would to a five year old "bye darling mummy loves you!"

The other lady's name escapes me for the moment, but her moment of horror came when she was 14 and in a school play with all her friends. She fell off the front of the stage, which was only about 2 feet high so she wasn't hurt but was really embarrassed. Before she could regain her composure her mother, who had been sitting right at the back of a packed hall, ran down the aisle in the centre screaming "oh my poor baby!" :O(
