Is it flattery or should I just believe it?

Ya know, for the past week or so, my son has been telling me things like this:

"You're getting smaller mommy"

"You're looking good mommy"

"You're looking slimmer mommy"

This morning he said:

"you're eyes are getting bigger, because you're getting thinner"

I normally just smile at him or hug him and say thanks, but I really haven't believe him AT ALL...because when I look in the mirror, I not only don't see it...I look bigger to me. I've just been "gracious" and saying thank you my son, but honestly have been discounting it as "flattery" because he's a nice boy and sees me exercising and working hard. Today though, when he told me that about my eyes looking bigger, because I'm getting thinner...I thought about YOU GUYS of all things. May be I/we shouldn't be so, ummmmm....dismissive of these compliments our wonderful family and/or friends are telling us? Maybe we should TAKE IT and believe it--even though we ourselves "aint feeling it nor seeing it" My beloved boyfriendish hubby has also been telling me things like this...but then again, he and my son are just alike, so I've rejected it from him as well--again, because I just DON'T SEE IT!!!!!!:indifferent:

Today, I'll take it , I'll make myself agree with my son & my hubby and count it as a NSV...no matter how much I want to count it as untrue or flattery from a sweet & wonderful son and a nice and terrirfic hubby. I'll DARE to go along with it, by FAITH I reckon!
