Moms — they say the darnedest things. That's the premise, and the payoff, of Jimmy Fallon's annual Mother's Day celebration: #MomQuotes. The hashtag is there because he solicits Stuff Your Mother Said via Twitter, and it's up to his Tonight Show staff to pick some of the best quotes to read on air. One more late-night reminder that mothers are human, and worth celebrating partly because of that. --Peter Weber
