Joseph's Mom (character)

"Pick me, Pick me, Pick me, Pick me! We need more Windex, we need to clean the counters!"

- Maria

Joseph's Mom (Known as Maria in Schizophrenia Case Study) was the mother of Joseph, who was domestically abused by her husband, according to Joseph. It's implied that she was Hispanic, due to her Spanish accent on Bowser Junior's 1st Grade! Part 4.

In Schizophrenia Case Study, her puppet is used for Maria, who is suffering from Schizophrenia.

Puppet
This version of Joseph's Mom Puppet is from Silly Puppets.

History
Maria had romantic interests on Principal Steinbeck and she was trying to convinced Principal Steinbeck to let Joseph pass the next grade (in Bowser Junior's Summer School) by having sex with him.

She hated her husband a lot, and got really mad at him once for spending all of the Christmas money on boozes, according to Joseph. It is possible that she was a maid before she died because she talks about wanting more Windex to clean the counters on Bowser Junior's 1st Grade! Part 4 when the parents were having a meeting with Principal Steinbeck and Officer Goodman about a new teacher.

Death
In Joseph Moves In!, it is revealed that Joseph may have killed his mom. When Junior was sleeping, Joseph was awake with his eyes closed and wrote on the wall in blood, "I'm sorry mom". It is also possible that Joseph never loved his mom and that he only loved her sandwiches. SML Theorists have considered that Joseph might have killed her due to her threatening him as a result of her Schizophrenia, and this is why he was "sorry" in the video.

The chronological events for Joseph's Mom are inconsistent, her day of death has been described as both the day before Halloween, or on Halloween in 2015. Also, the events of schizophrenia Case Study either took place before her 2015 death, or she may have come back to life, and lived in the current SML house. She may have died from her schizophrenia.

In The Past Machine!, she is taken from a moment in time when she was alive and brought to the present, thus technically resurrecting her. However, after Junior caused the Big Bang to stop two meteors from hitting Earth, she is once again deceased.

SuperPowers 2 reveals that Joseph had slit her throat with a knife. When Junior gets his mind reading powers, he read Joseph's mind. "Man I hope they never find the knife I used to cut my mom's throat. I could go to jail for a long time."

The truth is Bowser Junior is the only one who knows that Joseph killed his mom with the many hints given.

Trivia

 * The puppet for Joseph's Mom is called the "Maria" puppet.

 * According to Logan in a livestream with SML Reviewer, Joseph is actually adopted and this woman is not really his mother, as she is not a Koopa like Joseph is. Joseph is not aware of this though, despite admitting it in Truth Or Dare!.
 * On Joseph's phone it shows a picture of him and his mom. Every time Joseph brings up his mom, Junior would always say "I'd still smash."
 * In First Day Of School! Cody roasted Joseph about his mom possibly being a prize saying "Maybe it's a mom that's actually alive".
 * In the weeks that Chilly left for Spain, Logan used this puppet in the vlogs as a temporary replacement for her, adding her face over the puppet's face.
