[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, at bedtime the other night my 8 year old poked me in the stomach a la the Pilsbury dough boy and said "fat!" oh so casually. Like, I think he was literally just making an observation/being a little silly. In his defense, 8 year olds can be very literal, and he's not incorrect. I am definitely thicker around the midsection these days. Since he didn't seem like he was trying to be intentionally cruel or mean, I didn't make a huge deal about it. I just rolled my eyes and told him it wasn't a very nice thing to say and he should be careful because he could hurt someone's feelings. So, one untoward comment from an 8 y/o doesn't mean you're doing something wrong and raising a budding sociopath. Just use it as a learning opportunity.[/quote]
