After bathing each of the kids this morning, I was getting them dressed. Max, ofcourse, insisted that he wear his Nebraska football jersey, helmet, pants, but could go without the shoulder pads for the time being. It's Christmas, or it was. So, I opted to not fight that "you can't wear this every day" battle. For goodness sake, santa brought it. So, I got him all dressed. And as I went to brush his teeth, he stopped and said,
"Does this make me look fat?"
I don't know WHERE he may have heard that...
I'm guessing he's heard the phrase enough to just regurgitate it. However, what he MEANT was, did it make him look BIG like a football player. The kid is tall and skinny.
I'm off to the therapist!
That's how I roll.
Maybe he was asking if it made him look PHAT. You should have simply responded "Max.... You look off the chiznain!"
Nebraska football? Come on Max, Texas is where it's at or if you talk to my four year old, he's going to college at Miami to play quarterback, then he thinks he'll play for the Eagles. Kids, who puts this stuff in their head!!! Their parents must have been athletes... Hope you guys are doing well. You have the only kiddos bigger than mine!
