A Case of Mistaken Identity
My coworker’s 3-year-old daughter accompanied her to work today, and everything was fine and good until this happened when I walked into her office:
Little girl: Is that Lizzie’s mom?
Coworker: That’s not Lizzie’s mom! That’s Skinny Lady. Remember you met her earlier?
Me: Do I look like Lizzie’s mom?
Coworker: No, Lizzie’s mom is about 400 lbs!
Since we all know kids don’t lie, I hope you all will understand if I go fling myself from a bridge. It’s been fun.

My boss told me “You remind me of my daughter.” the other day. I saw his family pictures. His daughter is morbidly obese.
Silly kids. They say the damndest things. Meh. What does she know anyway?
May i join you…?
poor lizzie!
oh man, that’s one of the billion reasons i have no desire to have children of my own. i have found that kids are either completely quiet and never say a word (my favorite kind) or they talk just to hear their own voices (some of who never grow out of it)..so they just say random things.
a co-worker of mine said she was helping a customer and her kid…and the kid looks up at his mom and says “That lady is really pretty.” (referring to my co-worker, of course.) As she is telling me what the kid said, I just stood there nodding a smiling, thinking “this kid must have his adjectives mixed up/switched around…or it must have been opposite day at his school”
this story just justifies that kids don’t know what the hell they’re talking about.
at least your co-worker called you skinny =)
“Mommy, your stomach looks like a doughnut” – My four your told me this with a giggle. Aren’t kids precious?
