Last
week, I wrote a post about how my daughter Unna innocently called me “fat”. She
is only 9 years old so maybe she’s not being impolite. She’s just being honest,
to the detriment of her hapless victim—me.
Scene
1
I
was sweeping the floor and moved the daybed (which wasn’t really heavy except
that Unna was lying down on it while watching TV). Amazed, Unna said:
“Wow
Mom, for somebody old, you sure are pretty strong.”
(I
know I am old but nobody has every dared yet to call me old to my face. Until
now.)
Scene
2
I
was watching something on my laptop and had earphones on because the rest of
the family was watching TV. Then I overheard a conversation between Unna and my
husband. I couldn’t recall what it was about but I had to interrupt their
conversation with my own opinion about the matter.
Unna
turned to me with a look of wonder in her eyes. “Wow Mom, for somebody with an
infected ear, you can hear pretty well.” (For the record, I do not have an
infected ear!!!!)
And then there's this- - she always calls me Tubby Mommy with a naughty grin on her face while pinching my paunch.
I
think it’s time we have a serious talk.

Hehehehe! So funny! My kids call me old too. I think that anyone who is considered grown up is old.
Just their perspective! And you're definitely not fat!
