My mum has certain things she "mithers" about (a northern word meaning frets or worries, pronounced my-ther).
There is -
the food mither - there is nothing in the fridge or cupboard
the bin mother - will you take the rubbish out
the lost items mither - usually glasses or keys
the door unlocks itself mither - it doesn't
the no cigarettes left mither- look in the bedroom
the who does this TV/furniture belong to mither (it's all hers)
the how much does it cost mither -anything from rent to biscuits it all costs too much
the when am I going to the hairdressers mither
the major one - are you bringing me some more tablets (I fill the box every Saturday) followed by how do you know what I take, how will you get them - (I have been doing it for 4 years.)
finally the are you coming tomorrow mither (yes I always do).
All this every day, and on the phone too, later on. It's a daily script we have to get through.
Anyone else have any other mithers?
