Is Mommy Pregnant?
AdventureDad | July 4Cute kids are irresistible and can get away with almost anything. I like honesty, even when it’s considered a bit rude and undiplomatic, and therefore love the way young children speak. The truth comes naturally. My son is no exception but caused a minor crisis in the family this week when he called Foxy Wife “fat” with a smile on his face.
At the dinner one night Foxy Wife was wearing a short top with exposed stomach. She was bending forward and her stomach kind of looked bigger than it was. My son looked at her for a while in a confused way. Then he pointed to Foxy Wife’s stomach and asked with a smile::
“Mommy, do you have a baby in there?”
Funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time, wife was less amused but took it well. She explained there was no baby in there. His comment would have been sad if she wasn’t so fit. Playing two hours of tennis followed by a 10k run and wild sex a party is not a problem.
Still, my son’s question inspired her to workout a little harder. And of course I’ve wasted no time asking her this whole week about her pregnancy, the possibility of twins, baby names, and my paternity leave. It’s no secret our son wants another sibling, something we’ve discussed but probably won’t go through with since our daughter is as much work as having triplets.
Isn’t it nice being insulted by your own kids?:-))
I learned long ago that the only time you should ever suggest that a woman looks pregnant is if you are actually watching the baby emerge from her uterus. Glad she took it well. The other day one of my twins said, “Daddy, why are your nipples hairy?” Excuse me while I go put a shirt on…
Man, I think you’re walking on thin ice personally…thin indeed!
MLI said something very similar to CareerMom one day and though she laughed it off, I know it hit home a tad.
Oh, this is sad but happens so often. This just confirmed that I really need to do something before my toddlers figure out I’m fat!
I am going to do sit ups. Right now.
