Jake: Can I stay here? Can I look at you?
Me: (I pretended not to hear for 2 reasons. I didn't want to slow down by shooing him off. I could slip into my clothes without baring myself naked after all. And no. 2, I wanted to just let him forget what he just asked me. Hehe..)
Jake: (Didn't say a word and quietly got up, walked towards me and gave me a hug)
Me: (I hugged him back, still trying to keep my towel on. I was glad he didn't persist on taking a look at me while I dressed up. That would have scarred him for life. Haha! Or scarred me emotionally if he said anything about how fat I looked.)
Jake: (Looked up at me and smiled)
Me: (I smiled back and hugged him tighter. What's a few seconds of a tight embrace right? I stood there stroking his head with one hand while tugging at my towel with the other. Why was I even entertaining thoughts of him making fun of my figure? My boy just wanted a hug after all... And that was what I was giving him. I hugged him some more while slowly walking him towards the door. Just before he could finally step out of the room....)
Jake: Ma...you have a very big tummy...
Me: UGH!
Jake the rascal

Oh yes… I’m glad he’s still fond of hugging and kissing and being hugged and kissed. The elder boys kinda find it awkward to do the same. Teenagers…hmmm…

Tell Jake that that’s where he came from… big tummy for a big baby.

Hi Linnor, been out of the loop here for a while. I have you on my kinja but i didn’t notice it stopped getting updates reliably for a while now.
Anyway, out of the mouth of babes huh? I remember being in a bowling alley years ago, with my little brother. He was just 4 or something. He pointed to an employee. “Why is that girl so fat?” Haaay!
Linnor replied:
Hi Pinayhekmi… exactly Jake’s age…4. They just say the funniest things…. no sugar-coating.

oh well, i guess ang mga anak natin are our konsiyensiya, that as much as we want to deny na hindi tayo chubby, hindi natin mae-escape ang kanilang honesty. :D

Korek. Pag sila na ang nag-comment about our shape (or the lack of it), we have to take dieting seriously na. Hahahaha!
