My conversation with Cat this morning as I was rushing to get dressed and get to an admissions meeting at school...

Me: "I am frustrated b/c my pants are too tight...I've gained weight...ugh!"
Cat: " Well, just don't eat dessert Mommy."
Me (trying to be sweet): "That's a good idea honey"
Cat: "And maybe don't eat so much food at dinner...or lunch!"
Me: "Thanks Cat...that is easier said than done, but thanks"
later
Cat: "Mommy, you just need to buy new pants cause yours are too small and I need to buy new ones cause mine are ripped...or you could just wear daddy's pants!"
