My mum is coming down to see me next week....
So, anyone fancy a little bet on how long it is before we hear the following lines:
- You are pregnant (in case I have forgotten. Again)
- You need to eat (Because of course, I never do. I am the only person in the history of the world who maintains a healthy weight without eating)
- You can't cope with the dog. We'll look after him. (This has nothing to do with me being PG or not eating. Apparently I just can't cope!)
- Oh, Grow up (Her response if I EVER disagree with her)
5 It's only conversation (Her response if I complain about the Mastermind-quick-fire-questions being fired at me)
6 The kids don't need a room each. They could easily fit in there (Mother Points to box room and ignores laws of relativity)
7 You are really ungrateful (Said through tears, when I have pointed out that I AM GROWN UP)
8 I don't know where I went wrong / why you don't like me (I do like / love you, mother, just calm DOWN!!)
9 I just found it (In response to anything that she shouldn't have found / read / have been looking for. Often found in the back of the loft / garage under 2 tonne of 'stuff')
10 We're only interested / You never tell us anything (In response to me saying that she shouldn't have been poking when she found whatever it was she found in (9)
Feel free to add any more....
My personal bet is all of the above phrases within the first 24 hours.......
