Just When You Think Your Kid Gets It…

“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!

  2. What a character! At least he didn’t tell your age! Happy birthday, Michele!
