Accidentally going into mum mode

[TheWashingMachine]

Today I saw a man step off the pavement into the road, there was a car coming behind him that he couldn't see, thevroad iscquite narrow there instinctively i just grabbed him back onto the pavement and told him to be careful and mot wander into the road. He was in his 20s, about six foot and walking down the street with his mates. Afterwards I mumbled rather awkwardly and zipped into M&S. I'm so

Great thread.

My dad tends to warn me about not crossing 'the big road' by myself when we are back in my childhood village. I am 39.

No he wasn't on his phone and neither did he havecearohones on he was just walking along with his mates. He wasn't in actual danger but still noone wanders casually into the road on my watch.

@bunnybigears this has made my day

I cut my finger yesterday at home but the plaster came off at work. I asked my colleagues if anyone had a plaster.

The man I sit next to did but instead of giving it to me he unwrapped, stood up and came and put it on my finger

I said to him that you could tell he must be a dad (he is).

It was funny and quite sweet not just mummy mode, you get daddy mode too.
