Catherine,
Replace the word Mum with Dad

Mum Knows Best



At four years of age,

"My Mummy can do everything."

At eight,

"My Mum knows a lot - a real lot."

At 12,

"My Mum doesn't really know everything."

At 16,

"Mum? She's so old fashioned."

At 25,

"Well she might know a little bit."

At 35,

"Before we decide let's get Mum's opinion about it."

At 45,

"Wonder what Mum would have thought about it."

At 75,

"Wish I could talk it over with Mum."
