Thursday

Butter me up

Lil' Man: "You know what, Mom? From this angle your legs look really skinny."

Me: "Thanks. It's probably just the black leggings I'm wearing. They make my legs look a little longer and they're tighter than the sweats I usually wear."

Lil' Man: "No, really. Your legs just look skinny Mom."

A brief exchange between me and the kid this morning. Today is Report Card Day and Parent Conferences. We all know it isn't going to be good. I'll give him credit for attempting a preemptive strike against more punishment, but he's got to come with more game than that.


Now thanks to my own illustration, I want some waffles.
