Our_Lass told me a story about her mother from years ago.
Her mother was boiling up a pan of 'packet soup' for the 4 kids. Whilst doing other motherly jobs.
Then realised she'd not been stiring it as often as she should.
Ran across the kitchen, grabbed the pan and a sieve, and poured it down the sink. Oops !
Then realised 4 kids haven't got any soup, just the lumps
