the things they say

 Sometimes they say things that are flattering...
Like the time Haddie was holding a ruler, measuring parts of her body.  She held it across her waist and then reached out to measure mine.  "About the same!"  she told me. 
Hahahaha, oh Haddie, you're so funny!

Another time I was talking to her about how nobody is perfect except Jesus. "You're not??"  she asked wide-eyed.  (Teehee Haddie girl, you have no idea!)


And then sometimes the things they say... well... not so flattering.


Not too long ago I was playing with Seth and he looked closely at my eyes.  "Mom!"  he exclaimed, "Your eyes are purple"   Thinking he meant it looked like the iris had flecks of purple or something cool like that, I said, "Oh, that's neat.  I didn't know they had purple in them". 

"No mom," Seth replied patiently.  "You have purple skin under your eyes."

 Yep.  Thanks Seth.  Come to think of it I have been pretty tired for the last 6 months.  ;o)
