We were discussing a character in a movie, it was a catapillar that was very fat and ate all the time with the excuse that it needed all that food for it's transformation into a "beautiful butterfly" most of you with kids will know what movie this is. In the end it hatches into an obese butterfly with inty bity wings.
Emma: " Was the butterfly beautiful Mom?"
Adon: "No it was fat."
Me: "Things can be fat and beautiful."
Adon: "Like you"
Thankfully I'm fully aware of the fact that I'm fat and often discuss it with my children. I don't want it to be taboo and I want them to see my weaknesses and my struggle to master them. So I laughed! Really it was meant to be a compliment. Hopefully he'll marry a good natured woman!
Or a skinny one ;)

Don't you love kids? My sisters little guy told his mom one time when he was sick that he wished she was fat like me so she could cuddle better. I laughed so hard! And you are beautiful just so you know :)
Oh! hahaha, yes my children have done that to me too. Such lovely little things aren't they. I think his comment was something like "Mom are you pregnant again?" I said "No it's just my gut" he said "Well I guess you better do something about that then eh?" I just laugh as well. It was more embarassing when my one child said "Grandma your butt is HUGE!!!" That I did not laugh, I turned very red!
Um, okay, you are not fat! But it's good to hear you could laugh over it. I was just out shopping for postpartum jeans with Grace who is 10.5 yrs. I put back one shirt because it emphasized my belly pudge too much. Grace said "I noticed you have some of that pudge on you sides too." I had to laugh and say, "I sure do!"
