Why mummy's sloshed : because the bigger the kids, the bigger the drink!
Mummy has been a wife and mother for so long that she's a little bit lost. And despite her best efforts, her precious moppets still don't know the location of the laundry basket, the difference between being bored and being hungry, or that saying 'I can't find it Mummy' is not the same as actually looking for it. Amidst the chaos of A-Levels and driving tests, she's doing her best to keep her family afloat, even if everybody is set on drifting off in different directions, and that one of those directions is to make yet another bloody snack. She's feeling overwhelmed and underappreciated, and the only thing that Mummy knows for sure is that the bigger the kids, the bigger the drink.

The Oldham-Franklin Wedding, April 1918
The bride’s tears also fell at the Oldham-Franklin wedding, but Billy Falkner was not there to see them shed. For Cornell, his marriage that 18 April marked the climax of a sporadic four-year, long-distance courtship begun in June 1914, when the newly minted but empty-pocketed lawyer left Mississippi to seek his fortune in what was then called the Hawaiian Territory.
