Even my son noticed . . .

[saralynn143]

My usually clueless eleven-year-old son was outside this evening helping his father and sister gather limbs from a tree that we had to cut down. I stepped out to see how they were doing and he came over to give me a hug and tell me he loved me (mostly a ploy to stop working for a few minutes, but hey, it worked). When I sent him back to work, he turned back to say, "Mom, I think your face is getting better." So I wiggled my nose for him and he told me my cheek looks different when I talk. I think he described it as "your cheek goes in again." And I thought he was oblivious to just about anything pertaining to female appearance.

This forum hasn't had any action in four days, so I thought I'd share my story.

Sara,

That was a very smart way to get out of work!  Your son sounds just like my sister did when we were young!!   

And chances are, he wasn't just saying that to continue avoiding work - I'm sure he meant it if he said it.  Kids that age are pretty honest, even if you'd prefer them to not be sometimes!

Every now and then my 5 year old will say "hey, mom, your eye is looking good today".  While I know it doesn't look any different than it did 18 months ago, it still feels good to hear her say it.  I have a feeling your son is a better judge of these things though!

YAAAHHHHH!!!! Sweet little guy. I'm sure you are looking better. My 3 year old....Tanner asks every day if my eye is still "broken". YEP. It's still broken but by God I can see! Gotta look on the bright side.
