On today's show, one mum reveals the delicious deception she orchestrated when her health-conscious friend's child discovered her secret chocolate stash. We also hear from a mum whose piñata party blunder left a group of expectant children staring at... absolutely nothing. And we hear how a make-believe game went hilariously wrong when a toddler took her fish transformation a little too literally!
