Vic that joke has bought back memories of things Mum would say to us, I am one of 7 so mum always had something to say lol, and she still has always something to say lol. I remember when my daughter was 5 years old, she couldn't get her own way with me, after her crying she looked at me and said....Your the worst Mummy I've ever had!, trying not to laugh, I said Darling how many Mummys have you had?, there was no answer just a look of bewilderment lol. To this day she still laughs when we talk about this...Kisha
