Lesson in humility.

This afternoon Mom and I took our two little neighbour girls to play in the spray park by our house.

On the way there, Meghan, age four, was demonstrating her counting abilities when I asked her if she could count as high as my age. She began counting, but stopped at eighteen. I said “I’m older than that!” Her reply? “Can I do it later? I need a rest.”

Apparently I’m old enough that it can make children tired to count out my age.

Then when we got there and were running through sprinklers, her older sister Emily, age six, innocently asks me “Does anyone ever call you Fatty?”

… What!?

I asked “No, why? Am I fat?” And she told me “A little bit. You must be eating too much, Breanne.”

There ya have it folks, straight out of the mouths of babes… I’m old and chubby!

    Yeah…I beg to differ Brea.

    You are young, slim & totally sexy.

    lol, the only people who speak the truth are drunk people and children. :p

    btw, if you were at the spray park that I am thinking of, than you were across the street from my house. :)

    My theory is that kids don’t see properly until they’re about 10 years old. That makes me feel a little better. One time a girl asked if I had a baby growing in my tummy!

    awwww, Brea! :(

    My now 12 year old cousin told me last year that I had “flabby arms”, poked my stomach and said it was chubby, AND, said I had HAIRY ARMS. All in one evening!

    AND I’m two years older than you.

    So there. ;)

    Wow, in one hour I got FIVE comments! I couldn’t believe my eyes at first!

    Don’t worry, the entry was in jest, I don’t think I am old or chubby, I just found it super funny what comes out of those kids (any kids really) mouths!

    Kids are great! They tell you exactley what they think!….if it makes you feel any better my 6 year old sister talked to Chris Adelman for 2 seconds and came to the conclusion that he was…”strange”. The good news is I think Meg’s theory is right…kids can’t see properly til the age of 10!

    Everyone always says “Truth comes from the mouths of babes”. No one ever says “Kids are full of sh*t”. So I’d like to go on the record as having been the first.

    Though the little puke-factories are adorable…they’re full of sh*t. Literally and figuratively.
