FFS!? Friday : Have you lost weight?

Golden Rule : Never ask after someone's weight unless you know, without a doubt, that they have lost weight.

Obvious, right?

Not to kids who know nothing but brutal honesty.  FFS!?

It all started with some one-on-one time.

The other night, Miss5 was cuddling up to me in bed.  It was one of those rare, loving, mother-daughter moments.  No FFS!?

Which she promptly ruined:

      Miss5:  Mummy, you look like you losed weight.

      Me:      Really?

      Miss5:  Yeah.  Did you loseded weight Mummy?

      Me:      I don't know, but I don't think so.

      Miss5:  Well I think you did.

      Me:      Well thank you love, that's a nice thing to say.

      Miss5:  I know you losed weight because your head looks bigger.

Because my head looks bigger.  FFS!?

Five years old and she's mastered the back-handed compliment.  FFS!?

Is it even possible for your head to get bigger?

How could she tell, lying down in bed, blankets covering the rest of me.  FFS!?

I mean, really, I think it's a bit of an unfair judgement call on her part.  She wasn't really assessing me from my best angle.  FFS!?

I was so tempted to retalliate by saying that she has a lovely shaped eyebrow.  As in singular.  As in mono-brow.  FFS!?

But I'm above that, because I'm her mother and she learns from my examples.

So, instead, I just outed her monobrow on the internet.  Heh.

I do love my kids, but sometimes they make it really hard.  FFS!?
