10 jobs at which mums excel

1. Chef. There has to be a reason why the whole world says mum's cooking is comfort food.

2. Teacher. Lessons in life and schoolwork, you get them all without asking.

3. Chauffeur. She knows the short cuts, the time to your destination and the ways to ensure you aren't late.

4. Banker. Praises your money management skills and rejects your loan proposal.

5. Detective. She has eyes at the back of her head. How else would she know I was sneaking a look at facebook when she wasn't even looking my way?

6. Events manager. From birthday parties to festivals, from gifts to games, she plans it all.

7. Doctor. She knows the difference between a fake headache and real one.

8. Personal assistant. Helps you get organised in ten seconds when the school bus is ten feet away.

9. Fashion designer. She knows what's trendy, what suits you and what's appropriate for the occasion.

10. Mind-reader. Try lying to her.
