Just the other day I was outside with the kids in the front yard. There were also two other neighborhood girls out there too. They are sisters, probably 9 and 7 years of age. They were talking to me as I was keeping an eye on our kids. Then out of no where, the oldest girl asked me, "Why is your stomach so fat? Are you just fat or are you going to have another baby?" I couldn't believe she just asked me that! I said, "You think I am fat?" She then took her hands and smoothed out my shirt over my stomach and said, "Yep, it's fat." Trying to take up for my "fat" belly I said, "Well, it could be because I have had 4 babies!" Then I said, "I'm not fat!" She said, "Are you sure there isn't another baby in there?"
Isn't it so crazy that she asked me that! My stomach may not be as flat as it was 7 years ago, but "fat", that just hurts! I didn't take it too personal though because I know how kids are, and especially here, they just communicate a little differently than we are use to. Maybe I need to work on my post baby tummy a little more so I won't have kids coming up to me asking me the "fat or pregnant" question :-)
And, for the record to all my readers, "NO! I am not pregnant!!" Apparently I am just fat :-)

You are sooo not fat! and after 4babies you can never expect things to be the same. But I really would not put anymore thought into it.
