Because I'm your mother & I say so!

Son 2 popped in for lunch on his way to a gig in Edinburgh. Since he was dressed in his good dark suit, I 'suggested' he wore 'a bib', what with all that dangerously slippery cole slaw and those malevolent tomatoes around!

To soften the blow of being bossed about by his mum, I let him borrow my special James-Martin-autographed pinny, won in a Good Food Show competition!

If you have adult children and you do not regularly embarrass them, you are not working hard enough!
