# 3 "Mommy where are we going today?"
Me "To they gym."
# 3 "WHY do we have to go THERE?! I hate going to the GYM!" (insert annoying 4 year old whining)
Me "I go to the gym so I can get skinny."I pause here to explain that #3 has a minor obsession with my squishy belly. Most kids have a favorite stuffed animal or security blanket. NOT my kid, he digs my spare tire! Yeah okay, so he might grow up to have "issues" but I like that at least one person has respect for the ol' muffin top.
He then works himself up into a full-on four year old FIT! We're talking tears streaming down his face, moaning, whining and feet stomping.
# 3 "NOOOOOO Mommy I don't want you to get skinny. DON'T go to the gym! PLEEEEASE!"Despite his very persuasive argument, and my own tendencies towards laziness, off to the gym we go. I get
# 3 "See Mommy it didn't work! You're still FAT!"
Why do I bother?

LOL Kids say messed up things but then again he loves you the way you are and that is the sweetest thing <3
awwww, kids say the craziest things!
Oh gosh, that is indeed one for the books!
Kids really have a way of building you up. Just to knock you down again, huh?
That is priceless. Gotta just love the little people cause duct tape is illegal!
Come on by my place. I left something for you today!
Take it as a compliment since after all they do have a great respect and love for your tummy. :)
I seriously just choked on my coke! Kids! LOL! Hmmmmm....maybe it's a #3 thing, the monstrous whining/temper tantrum throwing thing. My 6 year old does the same thing over the dumbest things!
Oh, that is hilarious. My youngest asks on a regular basis if she will look like me when she is older. And I can just TELL when she is asking she is saying special prayers "please God...don't let it happen!"
I am still laughing! We once said we went to the gym to get skinny and our son said "you lok the same" so now we say we go to be/get healthy. Because that you can't see!
Laughing my butt off! That is so hilarious!!! I don't know what else to say Lara... :)
Oh no! The honesty is cruel... I always cringe when the kids grab my muffin top. It's like they're saying, "no seriously, these jeans just aren't flattering - time to get over the low rise and submit to the mom jeans."
Ole' Muffin Top may be the greatest name for that ever uttered.
LOL too funny!
LOL! Wow, that is unconditional love. Too funny.
Oh my!! Thats too funny!
My 3 youngest all like my squishy tummy too.
I gotcha a little something over at my blog today if you're so inclined. :o)
LMAO! It's like you don't want them to lie but sometimes...
Gotta LOVE them kids...........just precious. Your still a Hot Momma no matter what size lady.
Oh my gosh- so funny! Good for you for making your fitness a priority. You're setting a good example!
Isn't it funny what kids come up with. I think that's why we keep them around.
When kids say it, it's so much less kick-me-in-the-nuts, a little more good-thing-you-are-cute-you-little-monster. Monsoon loves my belly, too. He asked me the other day why it's so big - I told him because he lived there for a while. He liked that.
