What differs a real mummy to yummy mummy, or in other word, HOT MAMA.. the gorgeous one that some people found not real enough to be a mother.. (huh?) I found this article in this LINK. It's amusing to read.. and I'm thankful I'm a REAL mummy.. (actually, I think I am in between REAL and YUMMY mummy.. ahaks!)
Happy reading!
