Small glimpses into my life with odd, but fun, children.

Stretchy is beautiful!

My 14 yr old just now:

"I like when the dog's stomach skin is all stretched and wrinkled... kind of like yours! Yours is just like that, Mommy!"

Me: Thanks?

Her: I meant I like it! It's beautiful! It's beautiful being all wrinkled and squishy, and not like a model at all!

Me: Um... thanks again?

Her: I mean it! I don't want you to look perfect! I want you to look like you do! I love your stomach's stretchy squishiness!

Me: I understand where you're coming from, but please... I don't need any more admiration today.
