Lady or Mummy?

Morning.
School & work day.
Slept in again.
Me in bathroom periodically barking instructions at Miss 4 and Miss 5.
Trying to make myself look professional in 2.1 secs flat.
Miss 5 is watching, fascinated (instead of finding her reading file like I've asked 6 times already). I say (in a moment of stupidity) "Do I look pretty?"
Miss 5 "You look like a lady"
Me "I am a lady!"
Miss 5 "No you're not, you're a Mummy!"

sigh.

  1. hahahahhaha, happy mothers day by the way!! I think next year for mothers day I will request that I give up the name/title of mum/mummy/muuuuuuuuum for just one day! Oh, that would be nice.

  2. I vividly remember on moe than one occasion my mum (single mum of four) crying in exasperation "I'm changing my name!"

    Maybe all I want for Mothers' Day next year is a good disguise?

    Although the laminated hand-print and poem was nice :)
