Packhorse…another word for mother

While walking the kids home today after school a word popped into my mind….packhorse.  Here I was loaded up with two backpacks, one swimming bag weighed down with a wet towel and togs as well as my shoulder bad containing 3 umbrellas, two gumboots and my book.  Trying to walk/drag the kids home (1.09km away) before the rain started I realised that packhorse was just another word for mother.  Actually so is taxi, maid, chef and seamstress.  Oh well, another word to add to my resume I suppose.
