Honesty is the Best Policy

An actual conversation I had this afternoon with Ellie in the bathroom at Jamba Juice (I was not the one using the bathroom):

Ellie: Mom, for some reason it looks like your butt’s really big.

Me: Um…okay.  Thanks for your honesty. *examines backside in the mirror*

E: Mom!  Stop looking at your butt!

M: Well, you said it looked big.

E: It’s not that big.

M: Oh, well, that’s better.

E: Besides, why are we even having this conversation about butts?

M: Um, because you started it?

E: Uh, no.  Your butt started it.  By being big.

I'm definitely doing something right.
