Kids will be kids

I’m not fat, I’m poofy.

The other day, Little Mister got off the bus in a talkative mood.

Little Mister: “Jessica on the bus asked me if you were having a baby.”

Me: “Really? What did you tell her?”

Note for the audience, I am not having a baby. And my interaction with Jessica includes her staring at me out the bus window every morning when Little Mister gets on.

Little Mister: “I told her I didn’t know if you were.”

This was an interesting answer, on multiple levels.

Me: “You know I’m not having a baby. Why did she ask you that?”

Little Mister: “She said you looked pregnant.”

Alrightythen.

To quote Manny the woolly mammoth from Ice Age: “I’m not fat, I’m poofy!” Or at least my coat was. Or, maybe I just ate too much cheese.

While Jessica’s comment was innocent, it stuck with me.

So I started to focus on my poofy self a bit more. Eating more protein. Joining invigorating classes at the local yoga flow studio. Drinking two Stanleys a day.

Kids are awesome, right?
