This may not work for other people, but my response to teasing of that sort is to say 'Shh'.
I'm not kidding, either. Whenever people tease me about the same things la petite moi is talking about, I just give them a semi-stern look and say 'Shh'. It makes them feel pretty stupid for making a joke, it puts them in their place. Being told to 'Shh' is about the most belittling thing that can happen to you, you feel like a child when someone says 'Shh' and straight away you feel humiliated and regret making the joke.
It's always worked for me. Tell your mum to just give it a rest, she'll be quiet about it I think.
Sorry for the wordiness.
