We’ve all been there … haven’t we? Sat in the car, minding our own business, more than likely singing along to ‘Hakuna Matata’ when some old baffoon pulls out in front of you.
You call him a ‘A tw*t, a knobber, a silly old sh*t head’ … then you turn around, remembering you are not alone, and see your children have stopped singing along and are looking at you.
They say nothing, you dare say nothing. You can’t acknowledge the psycho mother moment, but you know … you just know that in a weeks time when they are in the company of an elderly relative or in a very quiet shop they will shout ‘You stupid old knobber tw*t’ … and you know, that once again you have failed as a parent.
Well, in honour of those moments I bring you this, an advert by AXA;

My worst front seat/back seat child moment was when I had to get my husband to screech to a halt on the hard shoulder so I could be sick after too many vino tinto’s at a family party.
I just opened the door, threw up (without getting out of the car), wiped my mouth on the back of my hand and then said drive on.
I slowly turned round praying that the kids had fallen asleep. Teen was just looking at me in disgust.
I said “It must have been the lemon merrangue pie.” She still refers to being drunk as having too much LM pie. I’m such a disappointment to her.
Happened to me just today. I called someone an arse for cutting me up. Amy then called them an arse too, which got me a tut and filthy look from hubs in the passenger seat!
I’ve never dared tell him about the time when she was a baby and i shouted at a lorry driver to f%&k off and there was a chorus of f%&k off’s from the backseat !!! Thankfully that was something she’s never said again.
I have managed to tame my language now and muppet is a popular phrase if i’m annoyed at some other driver. Unfortunately it also a phrase Amy is quite fond of too.
Luckily, my children are 10 and 12, so don’t mind as much when I shout ‘dickhead’ or ‘w*nker”, and just scold me terribly. I’ll definitely try ‘mong’ next time, thanks English Mum x
Oooh, douche is a new one for me. I shall definitely be shouting that next time, thanks guys x
Its when the kids read your mind and get in there first with gems such as ‘tw*t mummy??’
(son no2 age 3 – not my finest parenting hour!!)
That video is funny..I know its not probably meant to be as funny as I found it…
Classic. Now I’m ancient, the tables have turned and I’m learning new words off my delectable teenagers. Instead of shouting ‘knobber!’ at idiot drivers, I now shout ‘mong!’ and’ douche’! I’m modern, me.
Haha brilliant advert! I don’t have kids so don’t have any 1st hand experience, but yes I can imagine them repeating it at an inappropriate moment lol…
