When speaking to a new mom about her appearance, it can be kind of tricky. You never know how emotionally stable she is (hormones all crazy & stuff). Do you say she looks "great", "thin", or "healthy" or "you don't look like you just had a baby", (Hey! Thanks a lot! I went through all that for 9 months -- don't take away my credit!) or "you can't even see the tummy" (It doesn't matter, I know it's there.)
But for the first time last week I got this comment: "Um, Aunt Jackie, you are so, like, FLAT".
--Paige Jaclyn Thompson
To which, I of course responded, "WHICH PART????" Crossing my fingers that she says "your tummy" and not...well... you know..
"Like, this part.." (As she caresses my arm).
I sigh in relief.
