"I wish I had another mom."
Me: "Oh, really?"
"Yes, one that was prettier."
Me: "I am pretty."
"Well, a mom that has long hair and wears earrings."
Me: "Okay."
"Maybe you could just be our aunt and we could get a new mom."
Me: "I'll have to look into that. I'm not sure where to get one."
"Sister Weber."
Me: "But she has short hair too."
"Well, her hair is longer than yours."
I guess we have an 'opening' here for a lady with long hair and earrings. Good thing I have 'thick skin'! It was picture day at school this morning so perhaps that is where this originated? Kids are funny!

Ha. And I always thought you were one of the prettiest ladies I'd met! Your kids just don't know how lucky they are! The rest of us might have longer hair, but we aren't prettier!
Your post made me laugh. Kids say the darndest things. I am sure that if it came right down to it, there is no way your kids would trade you in! They couldn't advertise and get a better mom than you!
How funny! I am not looking forward to the day when Abigail starts in with this kind of stuff.
That would make me cry! Just for the record, you are one of the prettiest moms I know.
I don't know whether or laugh or cry at this one. I'm sure you wondered yourself. Laughing is probably a much better alternative especially since you are sooooo pretty. Usually they say those kind of things when they are being punished for something naughty.
Oh my goodness..where do kids come up with this stuff!? Sometimes I wish I could be in their heads just to skim through their thoughts. :) Thanks for sharing! It gave me a good laugh!
I love funny stories. Kids are so funny. I should write mine down. Maybe you should get some earrings:)
That's funny! especially because you are as pretty as they come! I'm sure my kids have thought of trading up for a new mom a time or two!
