Last evening as my children and I sat down to a meal of pork chops and mashed potatoes, (yeah I actually cooked, you're welcome family) Ashton decides to make this comment,
"Hey mom, have you ever noticed how skinny the Shadow Valley moms are?"
I'm suddenly feeling guilty about the spoonful of mashed potatoes I just shoved in my mouth. "Yeah, I have Ashton, why do you ask?"
"Oh, I don't know. This one kid's mom is so skinny she looks like a teenager!"
Ok. You can shut up now.
"I bet they never eat any sugar or anything."
I bet they never eat anything but boiled water. "What's the point of this Ash? Are you trying to say I'm not skinny?"
"Well...your butt isn't!"
I just lost my appetite completely.
"Maybe you should buy a tred mill or something."
Cursed gravy.

Kids are honest little buggers aren't they? Heather tells me all the time what a big lady I am. Honestly though you do look great! You are skinny!
ReplyDeleteThat Ashton is a very observant young lady. Funny, I remember a little sister that wasted no time - as soon as she heard from my wife that I was worried about my weight she took the next possible opportunity to ask if I was gaining weight -and make as many comments as possible to try to hurt my fragile ego. Good job Ashton!
ReplyDeleteWell, Troy, I apologize. I was a little butt head. Maybe kids like Ashton and me (when I was younger) are hear to help us see that we need not have fragile little ego's that are built entirely on our fading appearances.
ReplyDeleteBut then again look at how it motivated you! YOu're now superman.
LOL! Oh, Ashton . . .
ReplyDeleteWes makes comments on my weight but it's more on the uplifting side.
