Riding in the van today, Caden said to me, "Mom, your calves are huge!" Split second of horror. But then I recovered quickly as I'm not really self-conscious about my calves. Really, there are other body parts way farther up on the list of imperfection.
So I said, "What do you mean?" as I peered down at them. Then Caden said, "No, I mean the part that is spreading on the seat."
OH. Longer horror.
I threw some words over my shoulder about saying only kind things, wondering why we've tried to teach truthfulness to the children. Really.
