I am a size 16. I used to be a 22/24. Yesterday I was having a chat with a 3 yr old girl. She informed me that I am in the "grandma club." Oh? I say, why is that? (I am 48 but I think I look young for my age and I don't have any grey hair.) "because" she says, "you have a puffy tummy like grandmas have."
geez! Well, at least it's not because I look old!

so cute---innocense is golden-----kids sure do tell things as they see them. I also have a tummy. I can only lose mine when I get down to 110lbs. I am 158, so that will be quite aways to go.....I hope I can do it before I reach 100, I am now 61. hugs.....

Your comment made me laugh..thanks for sharing. I once stood in line at grocery store..little kid infront of me whispered to her mom.."mommy is that a girl or a boy?" Never forgot...so maybe a tummy's not so bad...hah!

Out of the mouth of babes. Oh, why do we ever teach them to talk - LOL

So I suppose that means to this child that everyone with a puffy tummy is a grandma. I suppose we must simply consider the 'source'.
