We were all in the car this evening, and I was talking to Andy about eating salads at McDonald's back when I was trying to take the weight off. Incidentally, I was bringing home a quarter pounder meal at the time of the conversation.
Anyway.
Charlotte said, "Why were you trying to take the weight off? Is it because you want to be like Lizzie?"
I said, "Why - what's Lizzie like?"
Charlotte - "Skinny."
Yeah. But I didn't stop there.
Me - "What am I?"
Charlotte - "Uhhh, almost?"
We all laughed because that is genuinely funny. She got a little embarrassed and said, "I don't want to hurt your feelings!" "You aren't going to hurt my feelings, Char. I just want to know what you really think. Do you really think I'm 'almost?'"
"No."
"So what am I?"
"Fat."
"You think I'm fat?"
"Kinda fat."
I'm thinking it may be time to put down the value meal and head back to the gym, considering the success I had last time (that's sarcasm, folks.) What I really want is to take diet pills, and I don't care what anyone says about them not working. I'm in denial, and I like it here. I'm potentially thinner here.

I love it when our kids are honest. Not that I think you are fat. Not even close. I had a friend in college who had a large nose. All the kids at the YMCA where she worked called her witch nose. She ended up having plastic surgery.
The only reason Charlotte thinks you're fat is because she hears you talking about it. The end. Love, MOM
don't you love mom's blog lectures? She's always right, though. Thanks for the compliment Char, sorry it was a simultaneous insult to you jen. You've never been fat, only beautiful.
Where you at Violet? My current addiction (and I do mean addiction. I watch Intervention, I know what one is!)to blogging requires much more than what you've been giving me. I'd say I'm sustaining a 3hour a day habit at this point. Learn to post pictures, get some music, get on the bus or get off the bus!!!!!!!
