Watching me exercise to a DVD this morning, Corinne observed: “Mom, their legs are much skinnier than yours.” Really?
And last week it was, “Mom, are you sure you’re not going to have another baby soon? Because your tummy is still kind of fat.” Sigh.But where is the honesty when I’d really like to hear it? “Corinne, did you cut Jillian’s homework in half?” “No, it must have been Hayley.” The same Hayley who is sound asleep and couldn’t cut a straight line with scissors if she wanted to. I’ve always been able to tell when my kids aren’t telling me the truth—you can just see it in their faces. Until Corinne. She is so convincing!
