Just speaking on phone to MIL:
"how's my grandson?" says she
"gorgeous as ever" says I
"is he losing any of that weight now he's walking?"
AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHH...................
" what weight would that be?"
"dont be defensive, lots of babies are fat"
"mmm, i know chubby babies are gorgeous, but ds is NOT FAT"
"well he's hardly petite is he? I dont think you realise how unusual it is for a child his age (14 mths)to have a whole weetabix for breakfast...in fact didnt you say he sometimes has banana with it? Thats more than i have for breakfast!"
And once again:
AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH @&X45$X%&X&%X$(&&!!!!!!!
This is from the woman who, when hearing that ds weighed 7.7lb at birth, exclaimed
"no wonder you needed all those stitches, he's MASSIVE"
