Started with the first one and then it just grew...pregnant with haiku..oh my gawd...sextuplets! My little girl was very serious about copying everything her Mum done and this was her attempt to keep up with what was happening mannnn! She told me I had to be pregnant too so I too had to resort to a cushion. When Mum came up she fell about laughing at having two more "Mummies" in the house. We then wrapped her in bandages so that she was truly a Mummy's mummy. So then we all had to become a Mummy's mummy...it helps when an entire family has the same sense of humour. Bit hard to explain later to Mummy's Mummy when she is looking through the family album. Mummy's mummy didn't have the same sense of humour...but I say...the family that plays together...stays together.
