You know you need to go return to weightwatchers when this is the conversation that starts your day….
Twin girl: “are you wearing that?” Refers to dress that is adorning my figure.
She who grew them (me): yes
Twin girl in a pensive tone: “you look quite fat in that”
Scooping my jaw from the ground I managed to mutter “thank you” in an ironic tone
Twin girl: “you are quite fat mummy” in a more matter of fact voice.
Me with mouth hanging open… “Er, ok.”
Twin girl; “I think you may be the fattest person I know; you are smaller in jeans but in that dress you are gianormous.” Please note I resisted the urge to list people I feel may be, ahem, larger than me.
Following a weekend of knackeredness and no washing I have no other clothes options to wear to work.
Thus with my confidence destroyed I dragged my fat ass out of the house this morning and went to work, as twin girl called after me; “love you mummy”.
Humph…
Get yourself on thinking slimmer. Better and cheaper than weight watchers. Works really well and not a diet to think about. I lost 7lb in 2 weeks and didn’t even notice I was doing it!
I started it last week and gained five…
Ahhhhhh things Children say – have been told something similar by reception age children that I taught :(.
Hope you are feeling better now
I took refuge in cake….
It might well be a case of you looking large (ahem – ‘gianormous’) because she is a ‘little person’ ;). It’s all relative my dear, all relative 😀
Ha! Fair point…. Christ to the baby then I must seem morbiddly obese….
Eat more cake and ignore her I say.
I like this!
Tell them you’re trying to gain enough weight to make it onto The Biggest Loser…
Now that is a goal….
Definitely calls for a large bar of dairy milk and a bottle of wine in front of the tv in your jim jams!
Children – bless them!!
oh yes!
the wine is poured and the chocolate….gone!
And THIS is exactly the reason I’m dreading F learning to speak…
teach her sign?
dont bother to learn it?
They really give you confidence don’t they! My 11 year old said’ I love the way your arms wobble’ the other day and I felt a real downer, especially as I go to the gym 3 times a week and have been doing tricep curls!! I had a chocolate curl (aka a Twirl) to cheer me up!!
ha!
wise plan though *she says munching on a crunchie…*
Tell twin girl there’s more of you to love being that size……my 4 year old has specified her father smartens up when collecting her from pre-school. No jogging bottoms but proper trousers with a belt!
ha!
love her
Bur it’s what on the inside that counts right?
inside me is a dairy milk…
:<(
i'm sure we've al had the "why is your tummy like that mummy, you're not pregnant".

phew,
xxxx
Ace post! Wouldn’t worry though – kids get it wrong all the time. Grace thinks Iggle Piggle’s real – they talk rubbish 🙂 x
Iggle piggles not real? *silently sobs*
What about santa…
My 4yo tells me that I am old. On a regular basis. She thinks it funny to call me granny!!
I am 39.
I am thinking of changing to Estee Lauder!
That’s unkind! Can you put her in a broom cupboard? 🙂
