Ah, yes..as if I didn't have enough to be self conscious of! Today, my lovely nephew informed me that I have a a very red, rather large nose. Even called me Rudolph :laugh: . I love yet hate how honest children can be!

    My children often tell me how 'soft and cozy' my tummy is!!! Damn, I was hoping it would be uncomfortable and rock hard!!! There's something to be said for a soft and cozy tummy for my children to snuggle... while they still snuggle!

    Kids are too honest!

    My son watched me take Kickboxing for the first time last week. After he says to me: "Mom, it made me so sad when you were struggling and no one else was!"

    I have class on Saturday. It's all I will think about !

    My kids always called me giraffe because of my long neck.

    I used to work as a paramedic and when practicing our drills, everyone was always so surprised when I required the TALL neck brace. :tongue:

    OP: I have a headcold, so my nose actually IS large and red!!

    My son has been known to mention how jiggly my tummy is. I'm not a fan.

    I get the " are you greek?" I hear that and I know what they are really saying lol. Fortunately for me I amuse myself calling people out. So I say, it's because of my nose isn't it.......................lol that gets all kinds of reactions

    One of my bff's daughter's told me "You're FAT". I answered (not very maturely) "You're rude." We both wound up apologizing :D

    In the US, a hooter is what we call a boob.
