Every mother and daughter should make time for a trip together. It's good for the soul.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, whos the dumbest of you all?

We mothers of grown-up daughters tend to view them with a mixture of love, exasperation, irritation and awe.

I like one nice man because he gets three tickets for the cinema so we've got somewhere to put our coats. He passes the test. I've been quite surprised because I really didn't expect to be wined and dined, and it's quite nice.

In her memoir, Anne Robinson recounts the wake-up call which motivated her to stop drinking. Leaving her eight-year-old daughter alone in their car while she went to buy liquor, she returned to find her daughter with tears running down her cheeks. The guilt and horror Ms. Robinson felt at this sight jolted her into sobriety.

Teachers are the worst. Just shameless about kicking off their rivals.
