Me: Am I thin or fat ( as I was standing)
DS: from here ( pointing at my head) to there (point at my belt) your thin... from here (pointing at my belt again) to there (my feet) your also thin.
I am smiling obviously. Glad I am "thin"
DS-but your butt is fat.
4 year olds are very honest lol.
lol it's okay, that's a nice story. and i know what you mean, I would have been a little nervous too, only because you don't want to offend him accidentally. it probably wasn't ideal but sometimes honesty is the best policy. i really do envy little kids though, wish I could say what i wanted whenever and have people chalk it up to me being cute lol

Its amazing. My cousin (step cousin) was 21 when he lost his legs due too a bombserving our country. We have a big family vacation in PA mountains every year so about 5 months (this past July) after it happen it was honestly kinda awkward even for me Kwim? You don't want to do/say the wrong thing- I mean I only see these guys 1 a year. Well we were there maybe an hour all laughing and catching up. DS gets in his lap, in his wheel chair, and says " where are your legs?" My heart dropped- so did everyone around. My mom, step dad, my cousins parents & brothers etc etc (there are like 50 of us each year lol. Well we all wanted to jump in and not make him'explain' it Kwim? He stopped us all. And explained it to him. Brutally honest, not how I would have done it, he said things honestly we don't let ds watch on TV or hear ever lol, we are pretty strict. But he asked an innocent honest question & got an innocent honest answer. We all wished we could have framed that moment. My cousin had tears. Like explaining it to an innocent child was a wake up moment. It was honestly amazing.
Ok I know you didnt want such a long life story lol, but what I mean is kids honestly bring out the best in our (or catch us at our worse) but non the less they are honest!
Quoting boshs1andonly:lol it's not quite the same is it? i do love how honest children are though, I used to work in a daycare center and their level of honesty is entertaining

Sometimes I wish I had a camera strapped to my head lol. I woke df to tell him. He laughed, but I wasn't as funny as hearing it with ds expressions lol.

Quoting caito:
I'd cry if my daughter called me fat :/ I don't think it's kind to call others fat.
I try to be very aware of what I say/do around my daughter. I never utter the words "Ugh I look so fat in this" or "I can't eat these they'll make me fat" anything of the sort... because I'm afraid of instilling body image issues into her without realizing it.
When she was just born I remembe watching a special on TV and there was a little girl who was maybe 5 or 6? She was telling her mom that she" didn't like her stomach because it was too fat and that she needed to run more, so that her stomach wouldn't be so fat." it was really really sad to watch :(... I mean 6 years old? That is the effect that our society these days is having on girls as young as 5 or 6? It's so so sad. :(
On the first day of preschool, my daughter told her teacher that she had syrup breath. *facepalm*
Do you ever get hit on even looking a mess?
Why inflict this silly cosmetic pain on a baby!?!
