Do you know what a I love about kids? They don't sugar coat anything. Sometimes they even pay you a compliment without even realizing it. In fact I'm pretty sure they don't realize it.
Friday I walked my dogs with the neighbor kids. I was wearing a pair of converse:
Annabelle: You're wearing teenager shoes
Me: I'm a teenager times two
Annabelle: So you're 24?
Me: Aww thanks honey, that makes me feel good. I'm almost 30.
Annabelle: But you don't have wrinkles.
Me: Yes I do, see around my mouth?
Annabelle: Those are dimples.
A few days later out on a boat with my a few of my friend's younger cousins, we'll call her Kate because I don't know her name:
Kate: Are you a teenager?
Me: Ha! No, I'm almost 30.
Kate: So you're 29?
Me: Almost.
Kate: We have a boat, it's yellow. I'm not bragging.
They sure know how to make a girl feel good!

OMG! I have a yellow boat, I'm not bragging! You just made me laugh out loud! So funny what kids say!
ReplyDeleteAw. I need more cuteness in my life. (and compliments)
ReplyDeleteGotta love it. I love the yellow boat "not bragging" part. Cute!
ReplyDeleteFun kid comments.
ReplyDeleteSee, the kids think I'm old mostly because I beat the crap out of myself with my 33 years of retarded antics.
ReplyDeleteThey say scars add character but they also frighten the kids ;)
Those are both priceless! Lately a bunch of kids have been referring to my favorite songs from high school as "oldies". oye.
ReplyDeleteso fun, I love the teenager shoes comment!
ReplyDelete30-year-olds have wrinkles and that kid has a yellow boat? GREAT icebreakers :)
ReplyDeleteYou do look young, though!
Nikki, quite aging yourself! You're not even close to 30!!
ReplyDelete(: The dimple comment made me smile. No matter how old my mom is I always say "youre 32 in my heart" and its because i did a school project when she was 32 and since then, that's as old as she'll ever get.
ReplyDeleteHa ha. Kids are so awesome. That last line "we have a boat, it's yellow. i'm not bragging"... lol
