Oh Nic, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Sending love and please take all the time off writing you need.
The story about your mum is hilarious and I can completely feel your embarrassment as a teenager!
I've come to this post a few days late and it's interesting how several people have posted funny memories - must be what sticks in the mind.
My sister hasn't spoken to me in over a year (argument about immigration... eek) but what came to mind when you prompted was a memory from when I was ten, my sister was six and my best friend came over for dinner. We were all eating takeaway at the table with my mum and chatting (feeling quite grown up!) when all of a sudden my sister farted. I thought for a moment we would all ignore it, then my friend started giggling, then me and my sister were laughing too. My sister then farted again, while laughing, and we were all in absolute hysterics for ages. It had been a rough time for my family and I didn't have friends over much, and it was just such a light-hearted, warm moment. The memory still makes me smile now.
