It Could Have Been Worse: he could’ve said this to me.

My sister’s Father-in-Law came up to me at our annual fourth of July BBQ at the pond and told me he had been talking to D.

Now, this is notable because just a few months ago, D wouldn’t talk to anyone without some coaxing, plus his speech was often too difficult to understand.

Oh, for those days. . .

Because, FIL said (while laughing, thank goodness), “D came over and told me, Wow, you have a fat belly!“”

Awesome.

I blushed, apologized (which was waved off with a “well, I DO have a fat belly!”) and found D.

“Honey, please, only nice words. Don’t tell Poppy that he has a fat belly. That might hurt his feelings.”

A few minutes later, I found out how my little pep talk had affected D.

“I now going to call you Mr. Fat Belly!”

  1. hahahaha. At least Pop was cracking up when he told this story. I thought it was hilarious, but I have to guess it's going to put a damper on his nightly ice cream treats. :>)

  10. Love the honesty. My son asked loudly, "Mommy, how many wives has grandpa had? I forget." Luckily, he didn't hear. Hopefully he would have laughed too!

    Don't they crack you up (or make you want to hide under a rock)?

    And with two children who aren't exactly soft spoken, even the most innocent whisper can be heard for miles!
