How do those little mutts manage to achieve maximum effect when their mother is out of the room for three seconds. These mothers know the best about it.

It brightens things up

Ikram (44), mother of Sara (10) and Damin (8): “Our toddler thought the three white Adidas stripes on his shoes were boring. In an unguarded moment Damin colored them in with red pen. Funny now, I could cry then. He had only had those shoes for a week.”

Naughty cat!

Judith (42), mother of Giulia (13), Elio (10), Lotta (7) and Sara (5): “I had been on the toilet for no more than three minutes when I found Sara, then three, with a black scratched face. Sister Lotta had left a black felt-tip pen lying around and she had found it. However, Sara claimed that Ziggy, the cat, was the culprit. That could well be. His head was also covered in black stripes.”

Just a reminder

Marleen (39), mother of Bo (11): “Bo sulked. We had just gone grocery shopping and she couldn’t sit in her own spot in the back seat of the car because I had put the shopping bag there. As I put the shopping cart away, she scratched her name – which she could just write at the time – with a stone twice large in the lacquer of her door: ‘Look Mom, now you always know: this is my place!’ she cried when I came back.”
