The One Where I am Too Fat


My son (age 4) is playing a (marvel comics) video game on Xbox with my fiance.


Son: "I can't make Spiderman go up there, I need help!"
Me: "I'll help you-- I know how to make Spiderman go up there ... "
Son: "No, mom! You're too FAT to play video games!!"

Ahh ... motherhood. What joy it brings.

Jessica, welcome to the wonderful world of blogging. Just so you know, I'll continue reading you and cheering you on when you're in prison for infanticide ;-)

Oooooooooh, SNAP!! You know, I do believe it is legal to sell them on eBay under these circumstances...

Welcome to the "blogosphere"! Looking forward to getting to know all-y'all. :)

When I was yarn shopping the other day, the approximately 3 or 4 year old daughter of one of the shop owners walked by me and said "Oh you just had a baby!" and before I could say, "No, sweetie, I'm just fat" her mother grabbed her by the wrist and "explained" to me that the little girl thinks of the yarn as babies and she was actually referring to the yarn I was carrying....I guess I should have been offended but it was really funny. Especially because as the mother was talking, the little girl was looking at me as if to say, "That it so not what I meant."
