I was talking to her and noticed she was looking at me oddly, then she said, mum, you have teeth like spongebob!!!!!!!!

I am still traumatised.

My 4.5 year old said to me... 'mummy, you have a very fat bahookie'. Lovely.

geraldinetheluckygoat · 25/03/2009 15:57

"wobbly tummy like a jelly" here.
sigh.

Pheebe · 25/03/2009 15:58

I got told I look like a sumo wrestler or rather the sumo wretler looks like me

What DS1 meant was they have boobies too but DH will never ever let me forget it ... the bastard!

I am now serioulsy considering a tummy tuck and a boob job and leaving him for 3 weeks to care for a 4yo and a 2yo

whoingodsnameami · 25/03/2009 15:58

Yep, I have had all the big belly insults too, but c'mon, teeth like spongebob!!!!!!!!!

What's a bahookie??? Not that yours is fat, georgiemum, it's lovely. Perfectly proportioned.

Dillydaydreamer · 25/03/2009 16:00

LOL 2yo dd said 'you have big boobs' while comparing to her own

Bettymum · 25/03/2009 16:02

My beautiful 2yo niece called my sister a poisonous mushroom once

lal123 · 25/03/2009 16:05

"Mummy...... Do you HAVE any bones?"

EdwardBear · 25/03/2009 16:05

my 3 yo told me i had a hole in my bum earlier today

DanJARMouse · 25/03/2009 16:06

bahookie - scottish for bum

Bettymum · 25/03/2009 16:08

Yes, we all had bahookies when we were little. They're lovely things to have

LilRedWG · 25/03/2009 16:08

Ah, it makes me appreciate DD (2.10), even more, who earlier announced, "Love you gorgeous Mummy".

Poor child obviously needs her eyes testing. I have a streaming cold, bruised eyes from crying, no makeup on and my hair needs a wash.

LilRedWG · 25/03/2009 16:12

Great - I've killed a thread with my smugness.

Insanity · 25/03/2009 16:12

"Jelly in my bum" here,and an ugly grumpy face in the morning.
Just as well I look in the mirror and see a yummy mummy!

Botbot · 25/03/2009 16:14

DD (2.8) smelt my breath first thing this morning, and said 'eeew, I smell poo'.

zookeeper · 25/03/2009 16:15

I, apparently,look "really weird" in the morning.

georgiemum · 25/03/2009 16:15

The sad thing is that I am a size 8. Sometimes a 6. I am usually described as a skinny malinky.

Bahookis is a great word though.

LilRedWG · 25/03/2009 16:17

My lovely neice said, "You're not fat Auntie LilRed.... you just have a big bottom!"

MrsMerryHenry · 25/03/2009 16:18

Ahh...the plural 'bahookis' makes it quite clear, now. Sorry, I'm a stickler for grammatical detail. I always correct our local teens, for example, when they say 'Is it?' instead of the correct term 'Innit?'

Bahookis: great word!

muffle · 25/03/2009 16:18

DS just collapses in laughter in the morning because I look "silly". He also says in a woeful tone - "oh mummy - look at your SORES" (zits).

The other day I wasmoaning to DP because I hadn't had time to get ready to go out and felt scruffy. Well-intentionedly DP said "DS is mummy scruffy - or pretty?" DS really gave it a lot of thought before saying "scruffy."

Rhubarb · 25/03/2009 16:19

Everytime I put make-up dd solemny says "mummy's got panda eyes again"

fernie3 · 25/03/2009 16:19

"wow mummy your huge"

not my best moment

was putting on mosturiser and mascara this morning and ds1 asked me; 'why have you got cream all over your face mommy?'

so i said; 'to make me look pretty, is it working?

ds1 gives this some consideration... then says 'no' and walks off

dd is the clever one, she tells me all the time i look 'bootiful'

OrmIrian · 25/03/2009 16:23

I look better with my glasses on apparently

Yeah thanks.... How about a paper bag?
