my brother is quite a lot younger than me
so much so that when i used to take him to the park, i used to get some very dirty looks and some tuts about teenage mums.

the highlight was when we were walking the dog and he wandered off to inspect the golf course. i shouted over to him and of course the nearby warden pipes up;

'thats right sonny... you listen to your mum.'

I've done that before.
I work as a checkout monkey and see so many young mums I kind of assume. It's bad I know, but it's not a judgement. "Aw, have you got mummy's keys?" "I'm his sister." Oops. I wanted to hide under my till.

I made the other mistake
The first time I went to Hull (literally), I thought it was really heartwarming that so many young girls were taking their baby brothers and sisters out for a walk...

Did something similar with a wee cousin
I was 17, his sister was 15, he was 18 months old. He and I both had bright red hair, so the three of us took great pleasure in taking him out in the pushchair to see the looks people gave us.

My sister had the opposite
A god-botherer rapped their pasty knuckles on Big Sister's front door. She happened to be up a ladder at the time*, so was not impressed when, after struggling down the ladder and a steep flight of stairs, the be-suited jesus-freak opened with

"Good morning - is your mother in?"

Rather than correcting him, she simply said, "Hang on, I'll go and get her", then left him standing there. Eventually he got the message and left.
