This was just a little funny thing Jessica said today I thought I'd share. I was telling Jeremy about this dream I had last night where I'd lost about 40 pounds all of a sudden and couldn't figure out how but every time I weighed myself it showed my weight being this lighter weight (no one knows why I'm not actually saying what that weight was)! I was pretty excited in the dream, but of course when I weighed myself for real this morning it did not come up with the miracle weight loss, rather up a little. :-( Anyway, back to the point...
Jessica heard me telling Jeremy about this, and the conversation went something like this:
Jessica: "You don't have a fat tummy, though, Mommy!"
Mommy: "Thank you, Jessica!"
Jessica: "Your bum just kind of sticks out!" (With hand motions, to boot!)
I couldn't help but laugh. Had that not come from my 5-year-old but rather an adult, I might have cried. Coming from her, all I could do was laugh. Yes, it does, but so does the tummy. I sure was wishing that dream had come true, though! Wouldn't it be nice if it worked that easily? :-)

Whoa. You're up late. I was just playing catch up on your posts and then you throw another on in on me. I haven't read it yet, but I will.
:)
Okay, now I've read it. that's funny. Kids can get away with saying that kind of stuff, but we sure can't. That reminds me of Jordan and sacrement meeting. Bon will have to tell that one.
This is kind of fun knowing you're right there. Yes, I'm up late, but so are you!
Now I'm anxious to hear Bon's story! I sure hope Bon sees this and tells it soon so I don't have to wait too long! :-)
That is soooo funny. Kids say the funniest things. If Jeremy said that, he would be in big trouble, but coming from a 5 year old, funny, funny, funny! Seems like my kids have said similar things...
funny!!!
mine kinda sticks out too!
Yeah, whatever, yours kind of sticks out too! We all know that's not true, PiP, Mrs. Skinny! :-)
Good thing Jeremy didn't say that.
My kids have been known to say things like..."Mom, do you have a baby in your tummy....even a few folks at the grocery store...strangers....and once I was on a diet when a stranger asked me. I was in the bread isle next to the donuts....I can't remember if it caused me to get a donut or not...hee hee
Hey- I am glad you found us in blog land- this is Larin, Dave Knapp's wife. I know we have more than one friend in common. I see you know the Kunzler family. They were in our old ward. What a small world.
I can relate to your post...my five year old tells me my butt is big and I ask him often if my running and squats are helping. You can't beat a childs honesty. Plus he compares my butt to Daves and you've seen my hubbie, I have a ways to go.
The story of Jordan...Hmmmm. Trying to remember the details. I think it was just that we were sitting in front of an overweight lady in our ward and Jordan was about 3 or 4. She kept turning around pointing and asking why she was soooooooo fat. She kept insisting at the top of her lungs that she wanted to know why. Everyone was staring and I couldn't stop her fast enough. I know the lady heard her and I couldn't show my face for a long time. I am thinking there was more to it but I can't recall it. I wish I had written it down. Sharebear do you remember more?
Hey, Larin! I'm so glad you decided to come check our blog out and commented! It's nice to meet you! I hope that you said hi to David for me.
That's funny you were in the Kunzler's ward. It still kills me that I didn't know you guys were in AZ when we were there. Actually, you probably know the Kunzler's better than I do. It turns out that he is my 2nd cousin, but I've never met them in person. I ran across them because Crystal left a comment on my sister-in-law's blog I think was how it went. Anyway, I figured out we were related because Kunzler is not a very common name. So we put it all together. Anyway, feel free to pop in and comment anytime! :-)
Unfortnately we have all had children say things like that to us. It made me laugh because I know that my children will say something to that effect someday. I guess I'll start growing my thick skin now.
