My friend, Helena, recently shared an awkward story, and promised to share even more if we share an awkward story too. Who doesn’t like an embarrassing moment when not on the receiving end? So, here’s my slightly awkward, very recent story.
My eight year old daughter has been obsessing about her height. “I’m afraid I’ll NEVER get taller,” she whines. In an effort to make her understand that in time, she will get taller, I confessed that when I was younger, I feared I’d never get boobs. In my quest for womanly endowments, I enlisted the help of my sister who knew breast-building exercises that only mature siblings know. But I digress…
My daughter looked at me in all seriousness and said, “But Mom, you don’t have boobs.”
Dissed by an 8 year old.
In an effort to regain my composure, I assured her that, yes, I do have boobs.
“Mom, boobs are BIG!”
I’m not going to win this one.

Ha! Basically, the take home lesson here was she will never get any taller, right? Just kidding. Next time come back with “Oh wait until you see them naked!” and start lifting your shirt. She will scream and run and never diss you again. Promise.
