The kids brought wonderful handmade mother's day gifts home from school with them today. Andrew made a book with some family pictures. It was a pre-made thing where the kids had to answer questions about their moms. In answer to the question: My Mother looks prettiest when....This is what he said:

How dare you say that! Looks don't matter. She doesn't have many dresses, but she's quite a fine woman. She's more prettier on the inside than the outside. That's her prettiest"

Can we all say backhanded compliment??????

Beats "She's the prettiest bit#$ on the block," though don't you think?

I think it's a compliment!

This is definitely one to save. My daughter frequently looks at me in the morning and says, you didn't get much sleep last night, did you... I'll say, Huh? And she'll say, well, I can tell because you have big bags under your eyes and... on and on... These things are said with concern and love!!!
I love the outrage he had at such a silly sentence opener! I think he may be destined to be a writer!

Well, thanks for trying to make me feel better, guys! I've tucked this away in my keepsake box...he wrote a lot of cute things in addition to that little wammy. I read it to my mom and she laughed her butt off!!!! She told me that when I was little I used to get into fights with the nextdoor neighbor (a little girl the same age as me). One afternoon she came outside and was listening to us argue...and we were fighting about whose mom was fatter:

"NO, MY mom is the fattest"

"UH-HUH...MY mom is"

Payback, I guess

"NO, MY mom is the fattest"

"UH-HUH...MY mom is"

I had a fight in 4th grade with my best friend that included those exact words. My mom is almost 6 feet tall and about 130lbs. She's a stick ... and Kari's mom was too ... and neither of us wanted to admit that they were WAAAY too skinny so we had a fight about which one was fatter.

I was a weird child.
