Mitch:
[0:23] Hello, welcome to the Easy English Podcast. Today is a special episode, not because Isi is also not here, but because today I'm being joined by my mum. Hello, mum.
Angeline:
[0:39] Hello.
Mitch:
[0:41] How nervous out of 10 are you now?
Angeline:
[0:45] I'm not sure, really. Just because I don't know what's happening, really. I don't know what's going to be asked.
Mitch:
[0:52] Wonderful. - That's more than nerves than anything. - That's great. - Great. - No it's not really. The... the point of this episode is, we're still in France, at my parents; myself and Isi and we had the idea that we would interview my mum and ask her about things to do with children, me as a kid, the UK, from a mum perspective and things like that. So I've divided up the podcast into kind of three sections, the first is kind of, general questions to ask you about being my mum and mum stuff. - Right. - We'll call it 'mum stuff'. - 'Mum stuff'. - Then, the second section I would like to call it by a name I've invented called 'mum-isms'.
Angeline:
[1:45] 'Mum-isms', okay.
Mitch:
[1:47] All phrases which I remember from my childhood that you said.
Angeline:
[1:50] Oh no, "I told you so".
Mitch:
[1:54] And I want you to define what they mean, because they're quite commonly said.
Angeline:
[1:59] Yeah, okay.
Mitch:
[1:59] Not just by mums, but by parents I think, to their children. - Yeah. - And then the third bit is, we've got a couple of questions from our listeners and members, that they'd like you to answer. - Okay. - Okay. Sound good?
