Too funny! Coincidentally, I was goofing off with my 3 YO the other day & making silly faces when she pointed to my forehead and said “Mommy has stripes!” I thought/hoped I mis-heard her when she reinforced it by saying I had stripes like a zebra on my head. Nice, huh?

Haha! Brill. Simply brill, my friend. I will file this away for my own 3 boys to read some day.

Thank you Let’s hope my little “Junior” listens to your advice too, and doesn’t decide to arrive tooooo prematurely! Hoping we can hang on for another 4 to 6 weeks at least!

I should add that those two comments came on two seperate occasions and the boob one was when I picked him up at preschool and he looked at me, patted my chest and announced that to the whole class!

Can I send my little guy over to learn these lessons? I’d teach him myself but I’m still crying from the time he told me my butt was “bumpy” or that my boobs look like “teensy tiny hills”.

Great post. When I was little I stayed over night with my grandma, and cried because she asked me to wash my face. I was afraid I’d scrub in the “lines” she had. (Maybe now I have?) So these rules don’t just apply to little boys …

That William is always so thoughtful, both with his compliments and the things no-one wants pointed out. Alexander’s remark made me laugh hysterically, though… nothing holds him back!!

And I hope I age as beautifully and as gracefully as you… pretty lines and all!

That’s too funny. Good thing they have a grandma to teach them these things. Hopefully they learn fast!

Too funny! I wonder when boys learn what to say and what not to say to women? I once went out and spent $40 on concealer after a male student remarked that I had purple circles under my eyes!
