I drew this picture yesterday so I could put it in my Newsletter. But I had some technical difficulties and so the sketch just sat on my desk (in the kitchen). My 6-year old looked a little serious when I showed him the drawing. He studied it carefully, and took me aside. In a low voice, he said, "Mom, you mostly look exactly the way you think you do. The only thing from this other side is that you do have those fat arms. But nothing else is true." 

I laughed out loud when he said that, then I looked at him straight in the eye and thanked him for his honesty. I guess if I ever feel a little delusional about my appearance, I should ask him!

You know, I used to be really sensitive about the way I look, but nowadays, I'm cool with it. I know I'm working out again and that I'll eventually fit back into my swimsuit. I'm glad that my son could tell me the truth and I can get a laugh out of it. But bless his heart for being so sweet that he needed to privately set me straight!

(PS- After I got breakfast cleaned up, I did run upstairs and look in the mirror and pinch my arms to see how fat they really were! He was right! Better do some pushups tonight!)
