Cornering the Mum Market

• When you grow up with Pat Tillson as your mum, you learn at an early age that you've basically won the mother lottery. PTills is in a category all her own in terms of #1ness. Few people have ever questioned this truism and anyone who does has clearly never met Saint Pat.
• And then you move to Perth and start living with the Australian Pat Tillson, otherwise known as Ingrid Voss. This is a woman who arrived on a flight from London via Dubai on Thursday at about 2pm. By 6:30pm almost her entire family (2 adult sons, 2 girlfriends, 1 husband, 1 monster dog) were present for a steak feast she had casually whipped up.
• The next morning, as you're rolling out of bed, she has already squeezed fresh orange juice, chopped pineapple, peeled an apple & made you a pre-packed lunch. With your name on it.

• And that's when you and the Bob realize that as products of #1mumness, you have been beyond spoiled since birth and your life will never be this good again. Sigh.
