True or False?
I was teaching my kids what "false" meant, and I gave them a whole bunch of sample true or false questions to answer. I don't usually say manipulative trick questions, but this time I asked, "True or False? I am skinny." My boys quickly yelled, "FALSE!" "So, you guys think I'm fat?" "No, Mommy, you're chubby." "I'm chubby?" I asked, with a slightly hurt tone. "Well, you're just a little bit chubby," one boy said. "Yeah, just kind of chubby," the other agreed. Well, that makes me feel better that I'm only kind of chubby in the eyes of my kids. I guess there's no point in trying anymore. Bring on the cinnamon rolls. And the chocolate chip cookies. Really, bring them over.

ReplyDeleteLOL Oh my goodness...from what I can see in your pictures Mel, you look like you did in college, super skinny!!!
ReplyDeletethose kids.... one time i was sitting beside Carter and he told someone who was making their Wii guy that they weren't that skinny. He said, "you're just a little chubby." I laughed really hard. They just say it how they see it....
ReplyDeleteFrom what I remember- you are FAR from chubby and I can't even imagine you chubby. If they say that again, tell them it is their fault. I would love to bring you cookies- or chocolate cinnamon bears.
