A Lesson for Little Men

So, I'm in the kitchen this morning while the kids are getting ready for school. I'm wearing a white maternity turtle neck, one of those super flattering ones that bell at the bottom. Eli comes in and says, "Mom, why are you wearing lots of big clothes lately."

My eyes I'm sure darted to Jerry, before I answer that my stomach is growing because of the baby and my "normal" clothes don't fit anymore.

Jerry quickly pulls both boys aside and proceeds to give his little men a lesson in how to talk to women. It went something like this...

Jerry: " Boys, you never, ever say that a woman looks fat or is getting bigger."
Eli: (Defensively) "Dad, I didn't say that Mom is fat."
Jerry: "Yes I know, but when you say her clothes is getting bigger, that's like the same thing to her."
Eli: "Oh."
Jerry: " So boys what do we never say to a woman?"
Jacob: "You look fat."
Eli: "Your clothes look bigger."
Jerry: "That's right. And never let them have your wallet, they'll take your money."
