A Moment of Honesty

Kids. You gotta love their honesty. They tell you exactly what they are thinking and you never have to guess if your breath stinks, if you look fat or if you are overall having an ugly day. If you are ever unsure about how you look- ask a kid, they will tell you straight up! My kids are exceptional when it comes to giving me a compliment and building my self confidence *insert sarcasm*. 

Here's how my sweeties boosted my self esteem today. Yes today. All of these comments happened today and it's only lunch time.

1. Charlotte rubbed my belly and asked if I was having another baby. 

2. Isaac scribbled on paper and read what he wrote: "Mom has a stinky butt. It smells like onions."

3. Remie David barges into the bathroom while I am stepping out of the shower. He exclaims, "MOM WHY ARE YOUR BOOBS SO LONG??!! (And then he laughs as he holds his tube socks up to his chest pretending he has "long" boobs too)

4. Isaac hugs me and says "mom are you a boy or a girl?" I reply with girl. He says "no, I think you're a boy. You look like a boy."

5. As I was giving Charlotte a kiss before she left for school she says in disgust "ew mom, your breath smells like Lily's (our dog) butt!"

So there ya go. Kids are entirely too honest although their transparency is worth it when they tell you how much they love you and that you are the best mom in the world. After all, that's all that really matters, isn't it?

Oh my! Great day to be you, huh? Don't fret, us grown ups don't think any of that is true. I have it on good authority that Isaac thinks everything smells like onions (get out a flashlight and check his nostrils). Charlotte must think I am ready for the L&D ward if she thinks you've got a baby in your belly. Blame the boob sitch on those sweet darlings. big Remie is sure you are a girl. And Charlotte must stl 'll have Lily butt particles stuck in her nose...stop smelling the dog's butt, kid.

Happy hump day!

When Colin was 3 or 4 he told me that my butt was like the biggest pillow he ever saw! You're not alone...
