So I had just exited the bathroom after applying my make up for the day (which I contemplated rather lengthily...it is Saturday) and one of my kids looked, no stared at me..."What's that black stuff on your eyes?" Now, instantly I start thinking...has it been that long since I put make up on? have I let myself go to the extreme that my nine year old stares (seriously) at me with wonder at what I could have possibly done to my eyes? Then I relax a little, no...I vaguely remember putting make up on atleast a few times last week. So I tell him that. "No, you've NEVER put that on your eyes, before."
I kind of felt like a paid date for a minute and seriously checked it out in the mirror and asked my husband if everything looked ok (a husband ALWAYS knows how to answer this question). Mirror: check, husband: check. For some reason I looked different to him today, and of course that caught on like wild fire with the other brothers... I don't know...I love the honesty of a child!
Oh wait, except for "you're gonna wear that?", "your hair looks funny.", and the all time favorite "your butt is mushy."
In all fairness, I have heard this stuff, too "you look like a princess", "will you marry me when I'm big?", "you're the prettiest mom, ever." (my favorite!!)
So, please share with me the little bits of sweet ( I really mean awful) things your precious little angels have said to you...don't hold back! This recent story from my friend Alison is a classic!
Oh...and for those of you whose kids can't talk yet...BRACE YOURSELVES!!!

When I was contemplating a polka-dot dress, my daughter says "Your butt's not that big anymore." This is a compliment coming from a teenager.
Thanks for this opportunity to share:
-you're stupid
-you're in time out
-you're the best mom ever
-you should be paid for your cooking
-you're starting to look fat
my favorite...
-man! your boobs are getting bigger!
I love this post. Reminds me of precious Grace asking me recently if I was sure the baby was going to come out of my stomach and not my butt? Well why would you ask that? (yes I know I was dumb to ask that question)..."Because your butt is SOOOOOOOOOO big and your stomach isn't that big yet so I thought the baby must be growing in your butt."
LOVELY.
this one kind of hurt, zach told me that my face looked like a dinasaur's skin because of the spots. lovely.
yes, I am tagging you, so go to my blog and see if you really want to answer these questions. if not, it's cool, maybe i will still talk to you.
yes tyson would finish school. wouldn't you?? I just busted out laughing when I read that. JOHN is a dork
oh and p.s. i am a little self conscious knowing that john is reading my blog just waiting to ridicule me. :)
I stand corrected. please forgive me for thinking so soon. apparently I don't know how much a Billion dollars is, because Tyson informed me that he would NOT be finishing school. He would be a world traveler slash car collector, slash everything. So maybe we'd take you on a couple of trips with us.
