Dude, I didn't say not to make a joke or show some personality. My points were:
1) They're not listening anyway! They don't care about your personality; and
2) If you're going to be witty, don't do it in such a way that it leaves you open to what might be an offensive comeback. 'Yo mama' jokes are just too tempting of a target, that's all. And what are you going to do if some smart@@@ kid makes a comment about your mom?
By all means, show the kids that you're a human being. I try to do that. I have a couple comments that I like to make to the players when the situation allows it. But mentioning your mom to a bunch of teenagers doesn't seem like the best idea in the world to me, that's all. If it works for you, hey, more power to her -- I mean -- you.
