“Mom, how old are you?”“Actually, today is my birthday.”
“Does that mean you’re 49?”
“Yeah, but you don’t have to tell everyone!”
“Oh, I get it. I’ll tell everyone you’re 12. Or 18. You look young, mom, like a teenager.
“Oh thanks! I’m flattered. But you don’t need to say I’m 18. Just say I’m 39.”
“Oh sure! I can do that.”
“Thanks, son.”

5 minutes later. Yelled loudly to the neighbor outside:
“TODAY IS MY MOM’S BIRTHDAY!!!”
“Is it really?”
“YES AND SHE DOESN’T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW HER REAL AGE!!!”

  1. Adorable…My sister was worried about putting on a little weight. Her daughter was about five when she said, “Mom, I don’t think you’re fat…” My sister thought, “Aww, how sweet!” And then my niece finished, “I don’t think you’re fat. You just are.” Parenting has a way of helping bling us!
