Mirror mirror, who's the fattest person around?

Changunnie had a play date yesterday and I tagged along for some fresh air. It's nice to be away from home once in a while. The play date is supposed to start at 11ish but Changunnie forced us to leave the house at 10. We were at the door by 10 to 11. The play date itself was good but the best part was when we took all the kids to a book reading event at a bookstore. (Daddy's cousin -in-law and niece are the author and illustrator respectively).

We took Changunnie and her favourite unni, Teri, to the bookstore while Teri's parents took Teri's brother in another taxi. Of the 5 minutes in the cab, Teri told Changunnie's daddy that he's fat but not too fat because his tummy doesn't stick out as much as her yahyah's. Teri also explained to us why we had to get off the taxi a block away from the bookstore because all the yahyahs are having lunch on the street and the police had to close off the road.

It was really funny and makes you appreciate how honest little kids are. They tell you about things exactly the way they see it and understand it. There's no processing to make the statement politically correct. If you can handle the truth, ask a 4 year old whether you look good in this season's hottest designer items. If the comment is "You look like a princess" you can proudly stroll out. If it's anything that has pig, bag lady, monster, please change and write off that piece of garment. Who said you should follow Vogue and Cosmo when it comes to style?

Oh! And always be careful of what you say in front of them. Kids love to mimic. I have been telling myself to stay clear of any four letter words at home.
