"Mom, I know you're kinda worried about this..."

Last night I was trying on pants and jeans at the Farm & Fleet. My 5yo decided it was too boring watching Daddy try on work boots, so he ran in the changing room with me. No problem. Or so I thought. After trying on some khaki's that I wasn't sure of, ds, who is leaning quietly against the wall, says "Mom, I know you're kinda worried about this, but those pants did make your butt look kinda fat". :shock:
After composing myself I decided to play with it. Thinking that my butt looks fat in just about everything because it just is, I put my jeans back on and asked him - "But what about my jeans - doesn't it look just the same with these on?" "No, not so much" Ok, that was better. I think.
Ok, should I be horrified, mortified, shocked, or grateful? I think I'm all of the above. I've never really dealt with a 5-1/2 yo boy before.... is this just the beginning? :roll: :shock:

The great thing about kids that age is they speak their minds. We don't learn to do that again until we are over 50! Be glad he told you instead of snickering behind you back. And yes, everything make my butt look big, because it is.

lol, I can relate ;-)
Talk about mortified, one time I was behind someone in a grocery line, and my thoughtful son (5 years old) decided to tell me rather loudly "See, Mom?, You're butt's not as big as that one!"
Oy.
