In the "well room"
We're sitting in the "well room" waiting for my 6 year-old's annual checkup. She watches a parent and her daughter walk by into the "sick room." I'm thinking to myself, "That child is going to be like her mom."
Or words to that effect. The child was young, but already very big. Like her mother.
My rail thin daughter walked over to me and asked, "Why do people get like that?"
I mentally prepared my "Usually, it's a matter of not eating right, poor exercise, blah, blah" speech.
"Like what, honey?" I wanted her to be specific.
"You know, fat." she said.
As she pointed to my stomach.
I guess eating was also one of the things I did the last three months.
