Today Joseph innocently piped up from the backseat, "Mom, what would you look like if you were skinny?"
Nice. I guess this means I’m laying off the Three Musketeers tonight.

OUCH!!!
Almost as bad as when my daughter, full of the honesty of a kindergartener, said, “Mommy, why are you fatter than all the other mommies?”
OW! The truth, it does indeed pack a wallop!
My daughter recently told a room full of people that I drink Diet Pepsi because I’m “fat and need to be on a diet”. I just about cried. In reality, the only reason I drink diet sodas is because I’m hypersensitive to sugar, but somewhere along the message got muddled.
The answer to his question is this: a mean, scary, psychotic, chocolate-deprived skinny woman raging inside for a Three Muskateers bar. Is that what you want Joseph? Now is it?
Oh no, he really said that? What a nut!
You should have told him, “Cindy Crawford”.
that was just too funny….
Calories don’t count if you don’t let anyone see you eat them. Just eat the Muskies when nobody is looking and you’ll be good!
Oh my goodness, I would do something flip like “I wonder what you would look like with duct tape on you?” (just kidding)
Oh dear. I’d skip the stuff like Snickers with all the nuts and caramel, maybe. But Three Musketeers? Munch away. It says right on the package it’s got 45% less fat or something. 🙂
OKAY! Let’s get one thing straight…I’ve seen you. In person. You are skinny!
Well, Shannon, three musketeers is the healthy choice don’t ya know? They have so much less fat and calories that they float in the air and the store cashier has to climb a ladder to get them down. So that means they are a diet food, right?
OUCH. One of my kids told me he liked snuggling with me much more than with daddy, and when I asked him why, he said:
“Because you’re so fat and cuddly, mama!”
Sigh.
Wow, Andrew has commented that I was “fluffy”. Oh well, they love us anyway.
my son called the hippo on madagascar Mama………
Oh ouch. And you’re not even heavy!
I would have had to bite my tongue not to say something smart like:
“I don’t know. What would you look like sitting in your room and not playing video games/ playing with friends/ eating halloween candy for the next two weeks?”
Reason number #512 why you are a much better, and more patient mother than I will ever be.
ouch! I lost my dignity long ago, now I don’t even think to hard about it, my right eye just begins this twitch…

doh! Kids can fling some zingers out, can’t they?

I think that comment means you NEED some 3 Musketeers. Beside, they’re practically lo-cal. Although if you are really concerned with eating healthy, dark chocolate is the best for you. That’s why it’s the choice for me!

What they need to come out with is a dark chocolate Three Musekteers bar. Why I think we could lose weight if we ate that one!
I had a complete strange kid (3 or 4 years old) walk up to me one day and ask me why I was fat. I simply looked at her, as her mother died from mortification and said “God made people in all shapes and sizes. Me? He just gave a little more shape and size too.” They know not what they say. They have no point of reference. I figured it was an honest question and I gave an honest answer. I tried not to take it personally although it did sting just a little.
Wow! I’m just waiting for the day my 3 year old pipes up with the same type of comment. Makes me want to do something about my weight before she has a chance to! 🙂
Seriously? Has the child seen any fat people? You, my friend, are not.
That’s it. I’m going for that one 3 Musketeers bar I didn’t hand out tonight.
“i’m sorry honey, did you say something?”
Children say the darndest things! My son’s friend looked at me one day and said “My mom looked like you when she was younger”. I have to say it made my day….she is 15 years YOUNGER than me.
Blessings,
Julie

Laylee just told me that if we had to go accross the river, I wouldn’t be able to swim because I was too fat. Yeah, thanks.
