Quote of the Week

Posted on 09.15.06 in Great Quotes Family and there are

This is a bit of a digression from my normal Thoreauvian quotes…

From the mouth of the Smaller Person (my two year old daughter):

“Mommy, why you have big bottom? (Points at my posterier in the mirror) See? Big bottom? Why you have big bottom?”

It’s ok.

I’m secure.

Nope, not going to comment on this one.

You, sir, are a very wise man. Mrs. Hammer has taught you well.

Did you say something?

To my daughter?

No. She’s a bit too young to reason with or to really understand that we don’t comment on the size of other people’s bottoms.

I’m quite resigned to the fact that my children’s wonderful innocence and honesty will provide for many humorous and embarrassing moments in the years to come.

No, no, I’m just refusing to acknowledge the topic up for discussion.  I have no idea what you could possibly be talking about.

(You should know that I will not even begin to discuss pregnancy with a woman until she has told me herself that she is pregnant.  I don’t care if her belly is two feet deep.  I don’t care if she’s got a shirt that says ‘bun in the oven,’ I don’t care if her husband confirms that she’s officially knocked up.  Until it comes out of her mouth, I’ll just pretend that I don’t notice the huge belly.  It’s just safer that way.)
