Mum Knows Best: Witty conversations with my mother

As a child, Veena was an introvert. Her quiet, reclusive and introspective disposition along with being a sickly child did not bode well with her mother. This book is a laugh-out-loud gut busting anecdotal recount of her life journey through the experiences shared with her mother, who in her attempts to pull Veena out of her shell adopts some unconventional motivational methods. Beneath the brashness of her mother's speech, lay the queen of common sense philosophy. In this book you will get to know a little about her mother. You will discover: • Her love of the words foolish, stupid, idiot and furthermore. • Her interesting use of the words very, great, wonderful, congratulations, thank you and goodbye. • Her brilliantly quick mind, sharp tongue and her ability to insult you whilst simultaneously complimenting you. • Her questioning of what the scientists are doing with their time. • Her less than pleasant options, followed by her generous statement of "the choice is yours to make." • Her casual integration of speech about death in regular conversation. • Her flare for dramatic descriptions. • The many names she has given Veena over the years.
