i have anorexia. wait. reverse that.

April 4, 2007

i am pretty sure i have reverse anorexia.

never heard of it? well, it’s thinking that you are a lot thinner than you are.

i am not sure if any studies have been done yet, but if you are a scientist and reading this (HA!) i’d totally volunteer as a test subject for you.

recent exchange between my son and myself:

my son in the bubble bath, me coming out of the shower.

he asks me: why is your butt so big mom?

i responded as honestly and fairly as i could: i have a big butt b/c i was pregnant with you.

he responded, crafty little bugger he is: then why doesn’t xavi’s mom have a big butt then? (xavi is his neighborhood buddy.)

to which i replied: she doesn’t really love her son enough to have gotten that big of a butt. only mommies that really love their children grow big butts in order to protect the baby. WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE? A MOM WITH A BIG BUTT OR A MOM THAT DOESN’T LOVE YOU?

note: ok, the parts in which i responded are not completely true. i would never try and blame my son for my oversized butt. naturally, i blamed his father.
