Mirror, Mirror

Why your legs are so fat?

~One of my kindergarteners to me, looking up my skirt whilst I bent over her written work last term.

Is your nose usually that bulbous or is it water retention?

~My doctor to me, a few days ago.

That’s right. Pile it on. It’s a good thing I was born with the vanity gene missing.

    Vaibhav above has got a nice rhyme
    And kids, they are truly sublime
    But why the doctor’s visit?
    Just to show your nose, is it?
    Do reassure us that you are just fine!

    Kids do say the darnedest things, dont they ? My friends son who is 6.5 years old once asked me how old I was. When I replied 24 he said I looked older. I am usually told I look more like 25 and so I say 25?? and hes like no more like 43 😦 .
    Btw whats with the doctor’s visit?? All well ??

    All adult limbs seem huge to little kids.
    Why the doc? I hope all is well, including the nose:(

    Nitya: You’ve been talking to my Boy, haven’t you? That’s exactly what he said after making all the appropriate outraged noises.

    vaibhav: I see.

    Aunty G: Oh totally. Just a routine visit.

    Prashanti: A three-year-old once tried guessing my age. At last try, I was 108. All well, thanks. πŸ™‚

    Mom Gone Mad: Well, it is the largest thing on my face. And a cross between dad’s perfectly regal one and mum’s neat potato. Ergo, that’s a lot of nose.

    dipali: It also comes from some children having stick figures for mothers. All well, thank you! πŸ™‚

    I’ll have to agree on that..Could one work with kids at all if they have a vanity gene? I wonder.

    Hilarious. I remember as a child calling someone “Frog-face Aunty” in the hearing of her close friend and my poor, apoplectic mother.

    I also have a huge one, you know. As I just told MiM, when the rhinocracy takes over, we’ll rule, man.

    Hi, seen your comments at some of the blogs I visit. Doctor told my in laws that he thought something was wrong with their granddaughter b/c everyone in the house has large noses and the child had a small nose. Do Indian doctors have a nose fetish?

    Era: πŸ˜† I hope not. Thanks for stopping by!
