Yes, it's been awhile since I've blogged...but it's midnight and I've had a lot of caffeine so here goes.  Really, I should be working on a paper, but who wants to write about the nuclear arms race, when one can write about the funny things kids say...

Being a parent is not for the faint of heart, nor for the gal with low-self-esteem.  Recent comments I have received from own beloved children are:

"Mom, your hair isn't grey, it's white."   Gee, thanks - I guess I skipped right over the grey stage.

"Mom, you look really young in that new shirt...you look 35 instead of 38"  Wow, I was kinda hoping to shave off a LITTLE more than 3 years, but OK.

"Mom, I like your big, squishy tummy"  I can't even comment on that one

"Uh Mom, don't wear that."  Need I say more?
