That was one of the humorous pieces of advice courtesy of Ita Buttrose today at the Bendigo Writers Festival.
The media stalwart spoke about her career as a journalist, being the co-author of 10 books and motherhood during a lunch at the Bendigo Art Gallery.
Ms Buttrose had the crowd roaring with laughter as she spoke about raising children and a trip to the supermarket with her son, who was a teenager at the time, and how he had insisted on drawing attention to her celebrity status.
The Bendigo Writers Festival is on today and tomorrow.
