I have just enough self esteem left to share this story with y’all. Then after this I am done, no one look me in the eye I am just too embarrassed! The thing that I love the most about 3 year olds is their honesty. They don’t lie or beat around the bush, if they have something to say, they say it.
The following is a true story, it happened to me yesterday morning…
Because I am a Mother and have no privacy, as I was getting out of the shower my favorite 3 year old walked into my bathroom. I was drying myself off with a towel when I noticed her staring at me with a questionable look.
“What’s going on Storie?” I asked.
Staring straight at my breasts she says, “why are they so long?”
Speechless, I manage to mumble, “because I am a Mom.”
Without hesitation she replies, “you look like an elephant” and walks away.
So thats it. I look like an elephant and I have long breasts. I wanted to scream down the hall at her… “yea well, hey there little girl, I just got done nursing for 11 years in a row, sometimes two children at a time and a few of you ungrateful children till you were two!” But I didn’t think she would care. The damage is done, I have no self esteem left!
Does anyone know a good plastic surgeon?
Part comedian, part Dad, part athlete. He will boss around your children while they play ball.
Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
Hahahaha…
Well-she told Jeff his face was horrible AND like Ben after he shaved soooooo don't take it too hard.
I don't think you look like an elephant, I think you look lovely.
lol, my kids say things like that too. You're not alone!
how sweet. Ya gotta love their honesty.
Oh man that gave me a good giggle, just because I have had to endure those brutal observations myself. So fun…
That's just her way of saying…"you should have let me have that soda".
You know we all think you're gorgeous!
Been there, heard that!
I feel your pain sista!!
Mine always just points out how big I am, and also that I am a girl so I don't have a winky, cause girls don't have winkies only boys have winkies…yes mine is 4 1/2 and boy do I love it when he says just how big I am, if he knew what an elephant or a hippo was he would probably say I am just as big as one, I think once he compared me to a whale

LOVE IT! Aren't they great!?! That was funny and it was awesome (if you can call it that) with the picture included!
I just love it when my 4 year old says "mom why is your butt so big? Is MY butt that big TOO? I hope not!" Didn't know if I should laugh or cry at that one! :o)
Tiffany just realize we have a ton of elephant heards living around us then! I don't know of anyone who could go through all that and come out okay. My kids have always been brutally honest and I think if I was to take it to heart I personally would be funding a plastic surgeon's practice! Thankfully the gospel tells us our bodies will be turned to their perfect state, so I have that to look forward to as these "honest" children are telling me like it is. My reply is "just wait till you have kids". Too funny!
SO FUNNY!!!
Hilarious!!
We call them "Badges of Honor." Wear them with pride.
God gave us underwire bras.
My four-year-old likes to tell me that my tummy is really fat (at five months pregnant, I don't know how seriously I can take it, though!)
I'm in the same boat after nursing three myself. What makes me feel better is remembering how I could not tell as a kid if it was grandmas breasts or stomach I was looking at cause they were all connected….she lives in a third world country with no bras…..
Besides elephants are fantastic animals…..
When bra shopping, I always want to ask they come in a 34 long…..
Too funny! I had a very similar conversation with my Story (also 3) not long ago, she didn't go as far as your Storie, but probably did the same damage to the old self esteem!
I just found your blog and have been going through the many of posts and LOVE this one! Thanks for the laugh…We also have three, ages 5mts. to 10 y.o. so I have also been doing the nursing bit for about 11 years…joining you when we do a stampede on those making these "cute" comments…lol…awesome!
Reaping In Abundance,

Sounds like something one of mine would say….I told my husband that if someone ever offered to fix me like they did Kate Goselin I would totally take them up on it…or would i totally let them take me in on it? 😉
