Aw parenthood. It can be such an interesting thing.
This morning as my daughter and i were waiting downtown for our transfer out to suburbia where i work, she points and says, "Mom theres your friend."
"Who, that guy there? i don't know him." I reply
"Well he has a big belly and a big butt?!?!" she plees
"So that means we are friends?" me
" Well yeah." her
"Why? Because I have a big belly and a big butt too?" me
" Well yeah." her
"My dear, that does not mean that we are friends. And although what you are saying is true, it is hurtful and you should not say that to people." me
"oh. ok." her
"Maybe mommy should think about loosing her big belly and big butt." me
"NO, i like it." she says with sincerity.
I could not help but laugh. Only children (and God) can see you just how you are, and love you unconditionally all the same. God bless em.....
