I have a brilliant friend, Dawn Troutman, who has 3 boys. When ever they want something from her she has taught them to say, "Mommy, you are so skinny and so pretty. Can I have...?" Sometimes we all just need to be complemented and since I know my kids won't do it on their own, I am using her sage advice.
Don't go getting your panties in a wad thinking I am planting the crazy notion into their heads that women have to be pretty and skinny to be worthwhile. I am doing this because it is FREAKING FUNNY and I need to have my ego stroked every once in a while due to the fact that I am NOT skinny and usually look like I got hit by a bus!
Today, though, I am skinny and pretty all because my son wanted some Nerd candy :)
From this side of disaster,
Cyndi
