{What a great way to start a new day}

This morning I was fixing breakfast for the kids, Brecken and Tate were sitting at the bar, I had gotten them both a drink and they were watching me finish fixing their eggs. I brought the eggs over to the bar and started dishing them up, out of the corner of my eye I saw Tate doing something so I looked up. He had his pointer finger held up against the middle of his forehead. I looked at him puzzled and said what are you doing? He kept his finger there not moving a muscle and just started giggling really hard. "hhhmm weird" I thought. I kept working on the food and he said "mommy, he he he he" and was laughing holding his finger to his forehead....................Then it finally hit me.......oh he was making fun of ME!! I then recalled the huge zit I have right in the middle of my forehead. I said " are you making fun of my ZIT?" this made him laugh even harder. So Brecken says, "well mom how did you get that there?" at this point I was feeling a little worthless you could say. I answered her, "well I just tried to get the white stuff out and I made a scab on my face okay?" at this point I thought the conversation was over because we were all giggling.....but oh no.......Tate then says " well Mom I guess you're the NERD today." We all just laughed because well what exactly can you say to that? I already knew I was a nerd but I didn't want my kids knowing!

My question is....How does a four year old know that you're a nerd if you have zits? And as if physically having children doesn't thrash your self confidence enough........you then have to deal with the emotional trama that is created because of their brutal honesty. Well at least I know they call it as they see it, They are hilarious sweet little kids who are completely naive to what a mother really wants to hear! Sooner or later if they're smart They'll learn to tell me I look Beautiful in the morning. For now I'll just have to take a few confidence busters and giggle with them!
