You know what that means, right? Something insulting and horrifically true is revealed. And it's supposed to be cute and charming just because a little tot spouts it out.
Maggie and I were messing with our many refrigerator magnets we've purchased on various trips through the years. We noticed that there are a bunch of magnets with penguins, because those are Daddy's favorite animal. Which isn't the point. We're getting to the point of this story. Maggie found a magnet from Hot Springs, Arkansas, and asked where it was from. And here's our conversation:
Mama - "Mama and Daddy went to Hot Springs a long time ago, before any of you kids were born. I was pregnant with Evie. But I was barely pregnant. Evie was so little in my tummy you couldn't even tell I was pregnant. My belly wasn't popping out then."
Maggie - "You mean like it is now?"
Mama - "No, it's not popping out right now!"
Maggie - "Yes, it is!"
I got so depressed that I skipped lunch and did 100 sit-ups.
No, not really. I actually scarfed down two chicken salad sandwiches for lunch. *sigh*

I agree with Lezli. Just a few more evenings dancing with your sisters will get you back in shape. What fun. Luv ya
Lezlie is right, Tara. I ain't having that conversation with Maggie...
That's hilarious! Your kids have said similar things to me, things that would be rude if it had come from anyone else. Cracks me up!
