Can I Help You, Madam?

You may fight as hard as you can against turning into your mother, but other people may not be entirely cooperative. Shop assistants, especially young ones, have the annoying habit of calling you madam, as if you belong to your mother´s generation. To them, you might as well be …

Early Nights

Going to bed early is a sure sign that you are becoming your mother. If your mother is the one who thinks it´s healthy to go to bed at 10pm, whereas you have always happily stayed wide awake past midnight, be very concerned if you say ´I think I´ll have an early night tonight …´

Mum Phrases

Oh, those mum phrases like ´You´ll get cold going out dressed like that´ and ´I told you that would happen´. Clearly, these phrases are designed to have a subliminal effect and become lodged in your brain, because 20 years later they will emerge unexpectedly – from your own mouth.
