Butt size!

I am crazy busy and just plain crazy right now trying to unpack all my junk. We have incredibly too much stuff!! But I wanted to stop and share something incredibly funny. I am pretty sure it will sound like one of those things you had to be there to understand but I thought I was going to die laughing. So....
The kids were sitting at the counter eating lunch and I was (as usual) in motion cleaning and organizing. Aiden noticed that I was drinking a diet soda, and asked if he could have some. I explained that it was not good for him. "why not?" because it is not for people who want to get bigger like you do. "Is it for people who want to get smaller?" Yes. "why do you want to get smaller?" because when mommies have babies, their tummies get really big. When the baby comes out and start to grow into big kids like you, they want to get rid of the big belly, and the big butt.
(Then I get concerned about my son's future self image, his future body image.)
I go on to say that I am trying to make myself healthy, and that it doesn't really matter what size your tummy or your butt size is. What really matters is what is in your heart and how you treat others.
Max who has been completely silent, mostly because his mouth is stuffed with food, suddenly yells out, "I HAVE A LITTLE BUTT!!"
I really am not sure why, but I think the comedic timing of it all was so funny, I couldn't stop laughing.
So as not to leave Jenna-grace out, she really didn't care about any of it. After a few moments of laughter, Jenna-grace pipes up to ask us to be quiet so she can hear the radio!
