As a mumma it’s sometimes difficult to make new friends. Yes, there are mothers’ groups, play groups, activity play centres and library rhyme times but I dare say, we spend more time trying to ensure our child is not the one who cracks it or completes their toilet training on the astroturf, than actively using that time to try and befriend another mum. If by some miracle we do have time to strike up a conversation with another mumma, in between Dr Knickerbocker’s Rhythm of the hips, it doesn’t always result in a perfect friendship match.
Which is why after significant scientific research*, I’ve concluded that you can save time and identify mummy-friend candidates with just one simple, and completely loaded question: “What is your favourite cheese?”…
It is my hypothesis** that cheese preference reveals distinct personality types – especially mums – given cheese is the perfect reward for tucking the children in by 8pm and being able to see a quarter of your lounge room floor. I’m going to patent this and call it ‘Chinder’, so don’t steal, but I am very happy to share the six distinct personality profiles (again, significant research) with you.
So, I was just wondering, what’s your favourite cheese?
