The trouble with mum is the hats she wears....

At first, other kids gave me funny looks when she took me to my new school...

She didn't seem to get on with the other parents.

They kept asking me where my dad was.
Mum said he's staying put until he stops going to the pub!

Teacher asked us if our mums would make cakes for the school governer's tea...
Mum made some.

They were a disaster, but the kids thought they were brilliant!
They asked if they could come and play at my house.

I didn't know what they would think of it.
Their parents said they couldn't come, but they came anyway.

They liked our pets.
They met Gran.

Mum behaved very well.
We all went wild.

Then their parents turned up and ruined everything.
They told mum off.

Mum was sad.
My new friends were fed up.
They said, "your mum is ok. But we're not allowed to come and play any more."

Then one day, the school caught fire.
We thought we were going to roast.
Mum beat all the fire engines!

She put out the fire before any of the parents arrived.
They couldn't thank her enough.

Now we all go wild at my house.
