Nothing like a jolt of self-esteem in the morning
Erik: Mommy, you’re too fat and daddy’s too skinny and I’m PERFECT!
Me, very sternly: You know we don’t talk like that. That was not a kind thing to say. We don’t tell people what is wrong with their bodies.
Erik thinks very hard: Oh, ok. So you’re too mean, daddy’s too good and I’m PERFECT!
He might want to re-think that perfect thing.
