Earlier today I was in the car with all three girls, going home after picking Claire up from school. Claire and Katie started fighting and I decided that it was time to try to distract them in an attempt to maintain my sanity.

I started to talk to them about the possibility of an upcoming trip to a nearby city.

Me- “Hey, how would you guys like to take a trip out of town and stay in a hotel?”

Claire- “No.”

Me- “Well you know, we can take Andrea with us and stay in a hotel with a pool.”

Katie- “Does Andrea have a swimming suit?”

Me- “Yes.”

Katie- “Well, do you have a swimming suit?”

Me- “Yes. But I will probably have to do some exercise first so I don’t look funny in it.”

Katie- “You ALREADY look funny.” Followed by laughing. That kid, she has a mean streak.

Yes, I too have experienced the humiliation of children's honesty.

Then I do my own private version of America' s Next Top Model in my room and decide that I look MAHVELOUS for having six kids!

So do you! Just bust out in that bathing suit!!

Aren't kids wonderful?! So if we were trying to be even a little delusional about how we look, they help us out!

They get their sense of humor from you, so at least you can appreciate it even when it's at your expense.
