One of my funniest memories is…
Hiding a walkie talkie in my mums hand bag, my brother and I then sat in the car when she went into a shop and started shouting with a little voice “help, this women has stolen me”.

It was getting awkward for everyone by this point and the shop keeper was getting angry. My mum finally realised what was going on and left the shop and all her shopping. We thought we were going to get told off, but she was in hysterics with us.
