Conversation overheard at the pool today–
Stephen (11): "Awwww, Mom…you’re CHUNKY! That’s soooo cuuuuute."
Me: "I’M FAT??? YOU’RE TELLING ME I’M F A T???!!!"
Stephen: "No, Mom, I said it’s CUTE."
s i g h…
Guess that’s a sign I have no business in a two-piece anymore, even if it’s just around the family.
And the kid? Restriction ’til college.
hey, got one of those backhanded compliments too. “you look pretty with make up on” lines from one of the boys. I guess I’m freaky sans my full face on.

Not unlike my daughter telling me, “Wow Mom, you really do need the Wii Fit.”
Aw man. At least he considered it “cute.” I guess from that perspective, it could’ve been worse!
Sorry – that probably does nothing to make you feel any better. 🙁
Welcome to the one-piece swimsuit club.
Oh kids. They do build up the self-esteem.
Yikes! What an awful thing to hear! I don’t know if I would have cried in my room, or washed his mouth our with soap, LOL!
And I was just going to go shopping for a new suit and was considering going back to a 2 piece.
Guess not.
Girl, if he thinks you’re (of all people) chunky but cute, I’m assuming if he really took the time to look at me, he’d think I was a beached whale and definitely not so cute. YOU ARE SO SKINNY!! These kids, I tell ya!!! My son says I shouldn’t think about shorts, short skirts, tight pants, certain jeans, etc. because I have way “too much junk in my trunk!” Yeah, I feel real loved. I just told him while he’s getting on my case, he’d better take a mother’s advice and not even think about making the mistake of telling this to his girlfriend or wife. The results would be bad:)
ouch.
Oh. No. He. Didn’t.
Mine aren’t old enough for that sort of thing yet.. but they will be…
Chunky! It’s a compliment in our house!
Thanks for linking up, but it came here. I wanted to read how you got your name, but couldn’t find it!
Chunky?? you?? Chunky?!? Tell that boy to stop smoking crack! You’re thin!! Unless chunky is a new term that the young un’s have come up with, like phat?
Oh girl, I feel ya. Last week, on seperate occasions, I was called fat & ugly, kids are brutal.
Oh my goodness that is too funny! Next time respond with the quote from the movie Ice Age, you know Manny the Mammoth when he says “I’m not fat. It’s all this fur. It makes me look poofy.” (of course replace fat with chunky and hair with fur in your case….)
I so totally feel your pain. I promise not to ask you to go to the pool this weekend. If I wore a two piece, you might be able to plot a roadmap from here to North Carolina in my stretch marks.
I cannot imagine you chunky my dear! But either way Im sure you would still be rather cute! Eat more chocolate!!!!
