You know you're a mum...

When you find yourself chasing your son around the living room singing the phrase 'Give me the spoon' over and over in a vaguely operatic fashion, because any attempt to simply take the spoon will result in a meltdown of apocalyptic proportions.

You know you're a mum when...

...you realise you've been humming 'I'm a little teapot...' while unloading the dishwasher.

You know you're a mum when...

... you find youself browsing the internet and absent-mindedly cuddling a stuffed toy that your offspring lobbed at you about 15 minutes ago.

It's a Sylvester nightlight in case you were wondering.
