Totally true!
In fact a couple of weeks ago I needed a new jumper but being me had absolutely no money, so fortunately my mum leaped at the chance to have a bonding day out with her daughter... at Westfield.
Anyway we were just in Topshop when I glanced across only to see a group of kids from my school right outside, by themselves, with no parents... right as I was planning my escape route my mum shouted very loudly, 'Honey, what dress size are you?' Only using my actual name. The fact I turned bright red didn't exactly help the situation, I turned round and started frantically looking through a pile of jumpers hoping they would think I was by myself and they had imagined the voice?! I then discovered that I was actually sorting through men's trousers and dashed into a nearby changing room and staying there for 15 minutes.
Message? Don't go to shopping with your mum, it could ruin your life.
