We will tell your mother!!! (Vol.2, 1981)

Content note: we talk about suicide *I find out about mum getting high on tiger balm…Episode 12 sees us in April 1981 as mum finally jots down her escapades on a school trip to Noumea the previous year. We read about how lax the trip teachers were, allowing the girls to just roam the Noumean streets unattended to ‘practise their French’ aka meet the local boys; how they had to scold some naughty boys who threw fire crackers at them — ‘we will tell your mother!’ — and how they went on a breakfast date with a man they met at the local market.We also chat about the song I want at my funeral (Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings), my morbid childhood preoccupation with death (don’t worry I grew out of it) and mum’s continued obsession with the bible (don’t worry she grows out of it). As always, listen to experience: cringe, giggles and some real-life shit. Follow us on Insta @mumsbaddiariesClick to head to our show notes at: mymumsbaddiaries.com We'd love to read your comments or questions!
