Just One Of Those Things

Yesterday I found myself asking AK "Who's my big girl?" when she was trying to move and as I was noticing that she has gained weight. Then I realized that phrase has an expiration date. Right now, it's ok. When she's a teenager the day I ask her "Who's my big girl?" is the last day she talks to me and gets an eating disorder. Any advice would be helpful here. When is the expiration date for that phrase? I just want to be safe.

mine is already wishing she were smaller (so that she could go back and have her old teachers). so i'd have to say that the clock is definitely ticking on that one.

or you could just hire a hitman to take out the skinny competition when she gets older. isn't that how you texan parents handle it?

Hitman? In Texas, we gun wielders just take care of those things by ourselves. We don't need to hire anyone. Those would be the same guns we will use when our governor leads us in seceding. Just in case you were wondering.

Find some appropriate substitutions.

precious
fantastic

girl!

then you are safe. Also, never, ever comment on their hair or bangs. I learned from my own pre-teen daughter that was dangerous ground.
