Last night I was trying on pants and jeans at the Farm & Fleet. My 5yo decided it was too boring watching Daddy try on work boots, so he ran in the changing room with me. No problem. Or so I thought. After trying on some khaki's that I wasn't sure of, ds, who is leaning quietly against the wall, says "Mom, I know you're kinda worried about this, but those pants did make your butt look kinda fat". :shock:
After composing myself I decided to play with it. Thinking that my butt looks fat in just about everything because it just is, I put my jeans back on and asked him - "But what about my jeans - doesn't it look just the same with these on?" "No, not so much" Ok, that was better. I think.

Ok, should I be horrified, mortified, shocked, or grateful? I think I'm all of the above. I've never really dealt with a 5-1/2 yo boy before.... is this just the beginning? :roll: :shock:

He did seem pretty tactful about it - - - -

Yup! and it's not just the boys. As for being horrified, etc., don't be. Save the story as blackmail for when he gets older!! ;)

The great thing about kids that age is they speak their minds. We don't learn to do that again until we are over 50! Be glad he told you instead of snickering behind you back. And yes, everything make my butt look big, because it is.

OOOO it has only just begun.. I wish when my son was young I would have had a notebook to jot down all the things he said that were memorable... he is 15 now and they are still coming out of his mouth!

lol, I can relate ;-)

Talk about mortified, one time I was behind someone in a grocery line, and my thoughtful son (5 years old) decided to tell me rather loudly "See, Mom?, You're butt's not as big as that one!"


Oy.

:lol: :lol: :lol: Oh no! Is this what's coming next?!

I have a friend with a 3 year old daughter. This morning she told me that S told her that Mom's bottom was bigger than hers. T was glad that this was said at home & not in a public bathroom.

Out of the mouths of babes :lol::lol:
Yes.... expect worse before it gets better :wink: :roll:

My cousin's 4 yr old grandson asked her what her make up was for. She replied "It's to make me beautiful." He said, "You'd better do it again, it's not working." LOL Kids crack me up!!
