  Or, the most charming of questions: “Mommy, are you fat?” Hmmm… how do I answer this honestly, maintain my godlike status in your world, and keep from hearing about this episode when you’re 35 and in therapy?

  Yesterday, The Poo called me “lady,” as in, “hey lady, I wanna play Play Doh.”

  Why, indeed.

  Hmmm…makes me remember touching my mom’s hand when I was about 12, noticing the dryness and rough skin and commenting on the fact that she was getting old. She was about 32…not even close.

  last winter, i overheard one of my 5 year old sons tell the other “mommy’s got a baby belly. daddy’s got a blubber belly.”

  honestly? i was just flattered they were talking about me when i wasn’t in the room with them.

  This reminds me of an interesting thing I deal with every morning - now. I use this crazy tooth paste (that I really like) but you have to shake it before you put it on your tooth brush. My bathrroom mirror is right above my sink (of course). Well when you become old and you shake things your upper arm waves at you. When I first saw this I could not believe it. I literally stood in front of my mirror waving my toothpaste and my arm was waving back. GROSS!! My arm was communicating to me and I hated what it was saying. In a werid way it was flipping me off. Telling my that I was an old lady. Now I try and not look at my arm as I shake but it calls to me to look. It screams look at me! I would give anything to have my arm fat (which I personally know yours are not) to be just fat and not have an attitude and commicate such rude things to me. Heck that was why I had kids!

  So they can tell you what other people are saying about you behind your back. Duh!

  Mel, is Aunt Deborah really your Aunt Deborah? Can I share her? She’s lovely. Truly.
