When I went to Nashville a few weeks ago, I left home at dark o’clock on a Saturday morning. I brought my coffee along in my trusty thermal to-go cup. It occurred to me, as I drove myself to the airport, that it would not be wise to leave the coffee to-go cup in my...
Anyone who knows our family can attest that my 5-year-old could be the poster child for Middle Child Syndrome. While her big brother and baby sister are confident, focused, and reliable, C is insecure, irresponsible, and generally out to lunch. I love her to death, but she is by far my most challenging child. (Well,...
Does anyone else’s kid act like money grows on trees? My kids don’t get the concept of money AT ALL. They think there is a little plastic card that will buy them anything they want, and they don’t realize that at some point every month, the grim reaper comes to call. Or, as my brother...
ROFLMAO – ahh – gotta love those kids. I don’t supposed you probed a bit to see what she meant by that?
Nothing like a good self esteem booster!
Kiki asked me again the other day-in front of the hubby’s family-if I was pregnant.
Oh children!!!
Isn’t that a junior high stage?? To be embarrassed of your parents? She’s quite a bit early! 🙂 You are gorgeous, whatever.
The last time I was trying on a top in a dressing room with my kids they yelled something along the lines of “OH MOM, ARE THOSE YOUR B**BIES?”
Yeah.
AGH! What did you say? What did she mean?
ohhhhhh nooooo….. you just gotta love kids and how they can just say whatever they want and get away with it!!!! LMAO… this is so funny.
My kids have made some pretty terrible comments to me over the years too…… they will get their payback one day….hahahahaha
Daughters certainly have a way…
K, so I thought what came out of my son’s mouth last night was bad…
“Mom, we shouldn’t worry about our big bellies because if we’re stranded on a desert island and we have no food, we can live off our fat.”
Um yeah…
NIIICE! LOL. I can just hear MY responce to such a question… It wouldn’t be pretty either! I’m the master of strong words under my breath.
Actually we have been working lately on thinking about things before we say them, for fear they will hurt someones feelings. But…mine are 7, 7 and 6…a whole world away from five! 🙂
Keep your chin up, your still gorgeous!
Traci
Ouch…and how did you respond?
OH, NO SHE DITTN’T!!
Someday she’ll be thanking her lucky stars to have such a pretty, hip mama!!!
Oh my gosh! I wrote an entry about a year ago with almost the same conversation with my daughter. Instead, she asked, “Mommy, do you remember when you were pretty?”
lol. Girls!
Thanks for the chuckle!

OUCH!
Yeah, been there, done that. The statement to me was…..drumroll please…….
Mom, when I get old I wanna have a big butt just like you!
Her thinking….
She would no longer fall into the toilet when going potty.
Get self esteem booster don’t ya think?!
You’re gorgeous!
Hugs!!
oh I hope you washed her mouth out with soap! =) or at least gave her the eye!
OUCH! I think you’re adorable!
Little girls can be so mean! ha!
When I am changing, mine likes to take that opportunity to tell me I have a big butt!
Nice. Don’t you love those comments. I’ve had my fair share too. Kids.

I’m willing to bet she overheard someone (maybe you? *duck*) saying the exact same thing. Hear me out on this.
When my cousin, 4 years my senior, on my dad’s side of the family went to Kindergarten they had to bring in pictures of their family. As my aunt gather pictures she went over who they are with my cousin. Cousin K pointed to my grandmother and said, “This is my grandma. She is ugly.”
Upon further probing it was revealed that “Grandma says she’s ugly!” Trust me. That woman was and is not ugly. To this day she is petite with a darling waistline, impeccably and tastefully dressed every day. And she is about to turn 84 years old. We both always thought our grandmother was/is one of the prettiest women in the world but her words led us to believe and say that she is ugly.
Oh, my jaw dropped. That is not fun to hear! And, for the record, you are very pretty! I’ve lost track of how many things like that my son has said to me.
Maybe her definition of pretty is long, curly princess hair and pink clothes? 🙂
Yeah, that’s why I’m glad I have boys. I only have to subject myself to having them in the dressing room for a couple of more years before they are just too old to be witness to the cheesey thighs.
*hugs*
!!!!!!
Oh my!
T said to me one day, Grammie how come you have such a big booty? Sigh…..
Y’all are too kind. You clearly don’t see me in my schlumpy sweats and greasy hair and no makeup. Which is pretty much the status quo around here these days.
Perhaps that’s what she was thinking…
OH NO!!! What did you tell her??? My son smacked me on the belly on day and said “EWWWWW”. Way to boost our self esteem!
OH MY WORD! Please tell us what you did…said! Kids say the darnest things!
Oh and you are SO PRETTY!
Oh, you are beautiful!
You know beauty to a 5 year old girl is Hannah Montana. We just can’t all look like Hannah, now!
Ouch!
I have an adopted brother who is 19 yrs younger than me. One time he pointed at my boobies and said “Those are big!” Um, thanks for stating the obvious, Bro!
You’re gorgeous sweetie and I’m sure your daughters are as well! 🙂 Kids can be funny, can’t they? 😉
