I love it! I have similar conversations with Mac one on Monday that went something like this "because I'm mummy and I say so"..."yes, but why are you mummy?"...."because I am"...."I'm going to be mummy tomorrow and you'll have to do everything I say"....."you won't last five minutes as mummy"....."want to bet?"
Hm, that child is growing up too fast.
Nunhead! I remember my friend Ellie's mum having a sign up on the kitchen wall saying "I'm the Mummy, that's why!" It's true, no other explanation just take it. They'll understand in about 30 years.... Loving your blog by the way MH x PS Chelsea have just missed if it means anything to anyone..
Well done Millenium housewife.. there are hardly any 'no's' there..
Professor Robert Winston would be proud of you..

Thank you! For both the kind words and the back up!

This was completely hysterical. Great post. I love your sense of humour. And thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a hilarious comment there too. (It was about sitting outside Isla's door at 5am when she's 18 and crying very loudly for an hour just for the hell of it). Wicked. I've marked the same plan on my calendar. February 2020... here we come!
Bloody fantastic, you should publish a book of lists, really.
Thanks Froggy, will have a think about that one. May need a few more children to supply fodder for said book. Hmm, must get down to it - pass the wine. MH
Hello! Frog sent me here and I love that list. The part about the lady's big round bottom sounded familiar. My son is fascinated by bums, boobs, fatness and wobbly bits. We have a very large babysitter, and my 6-year old has been fully briefed not to mention her size in case he hurts her feelings. He says he tells her she's "strong". I think that's just about okay, don't you?
Hee hee, I'm over from Frogs too.
I love the bottom thing.
The broccoli bribery so reminded me of my three year old. The other day she said she didn't want broccoli to be broccoli, but that she wanted to call it cauliflower. I asked why as she doesn't like cauliflower, and she replied that she would like it if it was broccoli. Kids are weird. :D
Frog directed me here too. Love it. My girls love my soft squishy tummy too. If only I did...
My broccoli's usually brown - buy it, forget about it, then try and get away with it. They never fall for it. Ho hum.
Have you tried selling salmon as Barbie Fish? Works a treat.
